Washington Post reports details the White House plan to drop detained migrants off in sanctuary cities as a punishment against Democrats.


WASHINGTON – The White House tried to pressure immigration authorities into releasing captured immigrants into sanctuary cities, particularly targeting liberal strongholds in hopes of hurting Democrats, according to a report from The Washington Post.

The report noted that the White House has attempted to pitch the idea to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at least twice since November. The White House suggested both transporting migrants who were captured at the border and those currently being held in facilities to sanctuary cities where local authorities don't cooperate with federal immigration enforcement authorities.

Among the areas targeted: Democratic strongholds, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's district in San Francisco.

The Post reported that the proposal sought to ease the bed shortage at immigration detention centers and "send a message to Democrats." .....................
