According to Homan, policies which mirror sanctuary cities “prevents ICE from accessing jails, and it prevents ICE from [notification] when an illegal alien is released from a jail.”
Cracking Down on Illegal Immigration
Judge Talwani’s ruling comes as the president announces moves of his own. These moves involve significant crackdowns on illegal immigration.
Trump previously claimed that these moves would commence as earlier as next week:
Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in. Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people…….

….long before they get to our Southern Border. Guatemala is getting ready to sign a Safe-Third Agreement. The only ones who won’t do anything are the Democrats in Congress. They must vote to get rid of the loopholes, and fix asylum! If so, Border Crisis will end quickly!

Moments ago, however, Trump tweeted that he will provide a two-week extension in order for Congress to address issues at the border. According to the president, this two-week extension comes as a result of appeals from Democrats.
In President Trump’s own words:
At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border. If not, Deportations start!

Further developments on illegal immigration in America will follow in the weeks and months to come. Although, Congress has previously struggled to come up with solutions for issues at the Southern border.
