Trump says administration 'giving strong considerations' to releasing migrants in 'sanctuary cities'
By Rachael Bade and Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio Follow John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow April 12 at 1:01 PM LEESBURG, Va. — President Trump said Friday that his administration is giving “strong considerations” to a plan to release immigrant detainees into “sanctuary cities,” blaming Democrats for what he characterized as an unwillingness to change immigration laws.
His tweets suggested that the plan, which immigration officials had rejected in November and February, was again viable. Shortly before Trump tweeted, Pelosi told reporters at a House Democratic retreat here that the idea was “just another notion” showing Trump is “unworthy of the presidency of the United States and disrespectful of the challenges we face.”
The idea never came to fruition and in fact alarmed ICE officials asked to carry it out. ICE leadership protested that busing migrants from the border to different cities in the U.S. would create an undue time and financial burden on an agency already struggling with challenges amid a border crisis, according to emails reviewed by The Post.
