EXCLUSIVE: We witnessed an incredibly rare sight in the sanctuary city of Los Angeles, as Twin Towers jail transferred an illegal alien inmate to ICE custody, not because sanctuary policies have changed, but because the jail is being *forced* to cooperate w/ ICE as part of a new federal operation designed to "neutralize" California's sanctuary state law.

The new Trump-appointed US Attorney in Los Angeles, launched "Operation Guardian Angel" last week, and it's already forcing sanctuary jails to make transfers to ICE.

How does it work?

Essayli has organized a federal task force made up of ICE, FBI, HSI, DEA, and ATF, working out of an office in downtown LA. Every single day, they are now scanning criminal databases w/ fingerprints and identifying illegal aliens in jails throughout Southern California who have been previously deported from the United States.

If they've come back to the US after a deportation, they've committed a federal felony under 8 USC 1326 known as "illegal re-entry".

As soon as the task force ID's an alien booked into a local jail who has a previous deportation, they seek a federal criminal warrant on them for felony re-entry, signed off on by a federal judge.

Unlike an administrative ICE warrant or ICE detainer request, these criminal judicial warrants for 8 USC 1326 *CANNOT* be ignored by sanctuary jurisdictions, and California's sanctuary state law cannot shield aliens from these criminal warrants. Instead of releasing the alien inmates and ignoring ICE detainers, jails must hand the aliens over to the Feds, regardless of sanctuary policy.

"With this operation, we're going to be neutralizing California sanctuary state policies," Essayli told me. "We're going to flood the system with warrants for criminal illegal immigrants who are in county jails, they can ignore a detainer, but they cannot ignore a criminal arrest warrant. They have no choice, they will comply, and if they don't, if they interfere with our ability to arrest a federal felon, they can expect to face consequences for that.

FoxNews was granted exclusive access to the task force as they scanned databases and found a previously deported Mexican alien in jail in downtown LA who had just been arrested for robbery in the city of El Monte. They filed a warrant, and we joined them at LA County's Twin Towers jail as the sanctuary jurisdiction handed the alien inmate over to the task force - potentially one of the first on camera transfers to ICE since California's sanctuary state law took effect in 2017.

The task force says once they're at full steam, they project they will be arresting 40-50 aliens from local jails every week, and that if it's successful in LA, US Attorneys can use it as a model to neutralize sanctuary jurisdictions in other parts of the country.

"[The city may be] engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination based on race."

The DOJ is bringing exact QUOTES of what Johnson recently said about prioritizing black people on the basis of race.

You can run – but you can’t hide from the Kent Police Department, WA. Especially is K9 Gambit is involved.

Last week, officers arrested a man accused of speeding away from law enforcement, crashing into a fire hydrant, and sending a K9 on a 40-minute chase through the woods.

It all started in the East Hill neighborhood around 12:15 a.m.

An officer on routine patrol spotted a Honda in front of him with no license plates. When he turned on his lights to pull the driver over, the officer says the 23-year-old sped up and turned his lights off.

The officer called for backup, and one of the incoming patrol cars spotted the Honda on the side of the road near Summit Avenue.

“Turns out the suspect compounded his already long list of bad decisions, and tried to negotiate a turn, in the dark with no headlights,” a post from the department reads.

According to officers, the driver wound up hitting a parked car and fire hydrant.

Police found the passenger pretty quickly – they say he was hiding in a nearby bush.
