ICE official: Agency will arrest at California worksites
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ‐ In another sign of escalating tensions between President Donald Trump's administration and California, the nation's top immigration official said Friday his agency will have "no choice" but to arrest immigrants who are in the country illegally in California's neighborhoods and worksites.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement will also likely have to place immigrants arrested in California in out-of-state detention centers, ICE Acting Director Thomas Homan said in a statement.
Homan's comments came a day after Gov. Jerry Brown signed bill SB54, or sanctuary state legislation.
This could lead to eventual conflict and violence between state and federal law enforcement personnel. Worst case, state ordered military confrontation.
