Border Czar Tom Homan indicates that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has no intention of abandoning efforts to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens in the Los Angeles area any time soon.
"Oh, ICE ain't leaving," he told Fox News host Jesse Watters. "Matter of fact, we've got over a hundred teams out today enforcing immigration law, and we're going to flood the zone."
Homan has repeatedly stated publicly that he intends to flood sanctuary cities with law enforcement officials while carrying out the most significant mass repatriation effort in American history.
"We're going to be there tonight. We're going to be there tomorrow," Homan continued. "We're going to be there every day in the next four years, arresting public safety threats and illegal aliens — and we're not going to apologize for doing it."
"Oh, ICE ain't leaving," says @RealTomHoman on LA.

Gasp! The Legacy Media Didn't Tell the Truth About the Cause of the LA Riots
This will surely come as terrible news for the rioters and arsonists, who presumably were under the impression that setting cars on fire and attacking ICE officials with rocks would get them to pack up and leave town.
Not to mention officials like California Governor Gavin Newsom, LA Mayor Karen Bass, and all other Democrats who have been accomplices to the violent protests.
More than that, Homan explained how these sanctuary cities have forced ICE's hand on how they go after these criminal illegal aliens.
"You don't want us to arrest these bad guys ... we could arrest them in the safety and security of the county jail," Homan explained. "But they won't let us in the jail. They release them into the community."
"Which means we gotta send a whole bunch of teams in the community, to find this dangerous person that don't want to be found."
"So sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don't want - more officers in the community," Homan added, noting that if ICE can't track them down that way, they'll go to their work sites.
Homan's thoughts echo those of Bill Essayli, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, who told Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin that ICE wasn't backing down.
NEW: I asked U.S. Attorney in LA @USAttyEssayli if there’s any world where the LA riots get bad enough that the Feds will stop their immigration enforcement.

He said absolutely not - and that the riots will have the opposite effect, leading to more military and federal…
Homan pointed out in the segment with Watters that the American people very specifically voted President Trump back into office based on the promise that he would deport illegal immigrants.
Democrats are on the side of the criminals. They're on the side of the rioters. They fan the flames of violence in your neighborhood. They sure as heck aren't on the side of the American people.
Homan and Trump are going to make America safe again, and a bunch of cowardly rioters aren't going to stop them.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
