Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acting Secretary Chad Wolf said on Tuesday that SWAT-like teams would not be needed to back up Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts in so-called sanctuary cities if local officials there would help with immigration enforcement.
What we found in these sanctuary jurisdictions is that local law enforcement does not work with the department, Wolf told Fox Newss Fox & Friends.
So what used to take one or two officers going into a jail setting and picking up an individual that's on a final order of removal, we now have to go into communities with many, many officers.

Again, in these sanctuary cities, they provide no resources to help us do our mission, he said. Should they decide to honor detainers and help ICE, we would not have to call in these additional resources.
.................
President Trump and administration officials condemned these cities, with Trump pledging in his State of the Union address to combat them. .................................

PS: I don't expect any problems from the Secret Service, as they are, virtually to a person, real patriots, just like the USMS.
