The revelation yesterday that the White House tried multiple times to pressure immigration authorities into releasing migrants on the streets of sanctuary cities did not go over well with Democrats, who denounced the Trump administration as cruel.
The plan, reported by the Washington Post, was concocted to retaliate against Democrats and target sanctuary cities in liberal strongholds. It didn't come to fruition after pushback from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Post reported. ICE rejected the idea after at first thinking it was a joke, the Post reported.
Members of Congress and immigration advocates didn't think it was a joke though, calling the idea inhumane and called for those within President Donald Trump's administration to be held accountable.
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about the proposal. In a statement to the Post, the White House said, "This was just a suggestion that was floated and rejected, which ended any further discussion." The Post reported that the proposal sought to ease the bed shortage at immigration detention centers while also retaliating against sanctuary cities and "send a message to Democrats."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's district was specifically targeted, according to the Post, noting that the White House wanted to transport migrants into her congressional district in San Francisco.
Talk about childish, petty and vindictive, those fuckers, and Steven Miller in particular, deserve to be staked to a anthill in a desert with honey poured on them, and left to die an excruciating death.
