Another wildly disingenuous thread.
I know people don't click links and read though so nothing will be gained from this info and folks will keep talking around the facts.
1. Sanctuary cities means the local police will not be an enforcement arm of Ice AND they don't probe for immigration status depending on the services provided in said cities. It does not mean "Everyone you send will get a plate" when Republicans start bussing them regularly AND refusing to say where they will be dropped off. For instance CPD does not assist ICE, but if you honestly think Ice isn't working in Chicago, you have an agenda:
Area of Responsibility: Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky, KansasEmail: Chicago.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov

BIG ass field office in downtown Chicago. They deal only in enforcement. Denver also has a field office:

Migrants are being deported, but they aren't wholly shot to the moon so its a problem that takes time, especially when you flood NON border states with a problem that they don't get funding for. Texas does.
2. Thanks to international treaties, asylum claims have to be taken seriously. Problem? There is a giant backlog that was also made worse because of the Title 42 shutdown Trump had in place. Claims are up to 3 million+ and judges are swamped.
So again, folks are being deported, its a big messy problem, congress hasn't passed an immigration bill partially because its en vogue to tack unrelated shyt to it (Ukraine funding) and as much as folks blame Dems, Republicans have something to run on when they don't actually fix wedge issues.
3. People talk about them being illegal, but face facts, they are here legally. The moment Texas processes them folks, they are legal pending their cases giving them a yay or nay. Folks talk about a border wall (which doesn't work and a video posted in here shows that) so May 11th of this year Biden tried to make it so if they did not come through strictly legal ports of entry in partnered countries or via the CBP One app, they were not eligible for asylum. They shyt was taken to court and it currently still stands, but that could change. For those saying nothing is being done by Biden, it's not hard to see what comes up, but the choices he has available has to stand up to scrutiny and will take time.

Asylum Transit Ban
The asylum transit ban, or Circumvention of Lawful Pathways Rule (CLP) went into effect on May 11, 2023. Judge Jon Tigar in the Northern District of California vacated the asylum transit ban on July 25, 2023 by granting summary judgement in East Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Biden. AILA had spoken out against the rule, known as the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways rule, and Judge Tigar found the regulation to violate the APA because it was not in accordance with the law, was arbitrary and capricious, and not procedurally valid. Many of the arguments made in AILA’s joint comment to the CLP were also made and found persuasive in this litigation. The litigation efforts were led by the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, the National Immigrant Justice Center, and the American Civil Liberties Union. This order is stayed for 14 days, and the Biden administration has appealed. In the meantime, the CLP — and its implications for asylum law — remain in place.
The CLP relies heavily on a series of complex “exemptions” and “presumptions” to condition access to asylum based on how asylum seekers enter the country. All clients who entered at the Southern border around or after May 11, 2023 should be screened for the implications from this regulation.
