BestOf2022 from Senior Staff Writer gusbova: Immigration officials say they no longer “distinguish between border security and interior enforcement” and aim to “push the borders out.” Immigration
If there was an overarching theme at a border security expo in San Antonio Wednesday, it was that the border is in crisis — and the border is everywhere.
Meanwhile, during a keynote luncheon, Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan used his platform to bash “sanctuary cities,” the media and members of Congress. Homan said that by not holding immigrants in jail for extended periods of time so ICE can arrest them, “sanctuary cities” release criminals and gangsters who will re-offend, adding that the policies encourage illegal immigration and buttress the human smuggling industry.
Aware that the room was full of vendors looking to sell the government expensive weapons, software and surveillance gadgets, Homan also offered an ICE “wish list” that included everything from facial recognition software to cloud storage services to devices to help discover border tunnels. Some speakers said it was important to get congressional border security money before November, when the Democrats could take back one or both legislative chambers. Brian de Vallance, former assistant secretary for legislative affairs for DHS, cautioned that the Democrats could easily pick up 30 seats this year.
