Washington-The Trump administration pressured the Department of Homeland Security to release immigrants detained at the southern border into so-called sanctuary cities in part to retaliate against Democrats who oppose President Donald Trump´s plans for a border wall, a source familiar with the discussions told CNN on Thursday. Trump personally pushed Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to follow through on the plan, the source said. Nielsen resisted and the DHS legal team eventually produced an analysis that killed the plan, which was first reported by The Washington Post. The proposal is another example of Trump´s willingness to enact hardline

This should make the sanctuary city folks angry with Nielsen for resisting and killing the plan to keep their precious guests from coming to their cities. Sanctuary cities are the places for the precious illegals to run to for shelter, security, and taxpayer funded everything. Right?

Miller needs to do this. Drop them off at 7-11s near every Federal Judge, City Council(wo)man, State and Federal democrat (and RINO) legislators and the (private) schools where their kids/grandkids attend. Its happening to ´normal taxpaying citizens´ here in Dallas - return the favor and underline the fact that their actions have CONSEQUENCES.......

Sounds like more fakery. But, if true, what´s the problem. Does it matter where they are released? Or is CNN practicing, "not in my back yard..."?
Hypocrits.

Just read the NY Times article on the subject. Pleasantly surprised that so many of the Letters following supported the idea.

In 1989, Actor Martin Sheen was named honorary mayor of Malibu and proclaimed that Malibu will be "a sanctuary for aliens and the homeless". Because of what Sheen said back then ,Rush wanted to rent a big bus and load it with Homeless folks from LA and take them to Malibu and dump them off. It never happened, but it was basically the idea Trump´s administration wants to do.

If they aren´t a negative force to be reckoned with, the sanctuary cities aren´t being "targeted"but blessed?

Sounds like a great idea. They want to offer sanctuary? Let them put their money where their mouth is. It´s what the Democrats would do.

CNN - propagandists for the idiots and shut-ins - says that sanctuary cities are so-called. Really? They weren´t so-call when their city leadership voted and upheld illegitimate sanctuary laws. I say send them all to San Francisco. They deserve the best that George Soros has to offer.

So what? As Obama and his crew actually did release so-called “immigrants” into what are Republican areas.
The Democrats actually want as many poor, uneducated, and socialist minded illegal aliens as possible from underdeveloped countries to continue to gain entry to the USA by hook or by crook. Most of those illegal aliens, who are pursuing bogus asylum claims travel by themselves to immigrant communities in the interior of the USA and reunite with illegal alien friends and relatives already illegally in the USA who help the new arrivals when they arrive to procure bogus or fraudulent identification documents that allow them to defraud the incompetent government run I-9 employee verification system and to get hired to American jobs.
Just about all those locations are in low income Congressional Districts that have been represented by leftist or liberal Democrats for a very long time. The Democrat covert and ultimate plan is to legalize and eventually grant US voting rights to the 22 million and growing illegal alien population who they believe would be natural future Democrat socialist voters, in order to cancel out enough “Deplorable” Republican votes to keep the leftist and liberal Democrats in dominant and permanent political power and drive the clueless cheap foreign labor loving Republicans into political oblivion.

That would be my secondary option right after dumping them back across the border into Mexico. Those people have no right to be anywhere in the US.

So fake it is laughable. Sanctuary cities are for illegals, these people by definition are not illegals since they have been processed by DHS.

Rush just debunked this as more fake news.
Too bad. I agree with above that this is a terrific idea. Let the progs reap what they sow, and let them - and not the rest of us - pay for it.

Why not. ...Isn´t it time to call the bluff on the, ´sanctuary city,´ hypocrites?!!! ...They rolled out the red carpet welcome mat for the unvetted ILLEGAL aliens to break every law in the USA, so now let them have what they asked for! After all, it´s just only fair poetic justice! LOL!!!!

CNN says that like it´s a bad thing!!!!!
That makes perfect sense. If you are going to flaunt federal immigration laws, you should have to deal with the consequences. You have made it clear that you welcome illegal aliens, so you get your wish.
None of these "sanctuary cities" voted for Trump in 2016. This will make them dislike him even more (especially as their crime rates explode). But it will definitely make him a hero in the rest of the country!!!!!

So, what´s the issue?
Sanctuary cities / states are offering sanctuary, so why not release illegal aliens in those jurisdictions?
You often get what you asked for . . .

We know our President starts negotiations from a position of power in any negotiation. Threatening sending illegal aliens to sanctuary cities is the first step to get Congress to do something.

If you are sending them any place, let it be to the south side of the border.
Wasn´t it CA years back that put it´s derelicts on a bus and sent them to other states? Karma.
