Federal authorities are primed to handle potential ‘violent situations’ if and when the Trump administration begins cracking down on illegal aliens across the U.S., according to a former high-ranking official.
Infiltration by international criminal networks during the Biden border invasion presents an increased risk of dangerous confrontations with law enforcement, particularly in areas with concentrations of hardened criminals.
“You have to train and be ready for the eventuality that there could be violent situation that needs to be dealt with,” retired Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Field Office Director John Fabbricatore told Border Hawk.
“You do look at it like a military operation in some aspects. You have an operational plan. You plan out stuff like that when you’re going after a gang where you have a multi-page plan, where you’re looking at the nearest trauma centers. You’re looking at where the nearest jail is where you can drop these people off. You’re looking at what happens if we do have a massive firefight. Who do we call in if we need more medical.”
The U.S. Air Force veteran explained that Special Response Teams (SRT) assigned to various federal agencies are packed with elite soldiers and SWAT officers with extensive experience executing high-risk missions requiring minimal collateral damage.
“There is a lot of operational and tactical planning that goes into these arrests. We have to be careful because we don’t want to hurt civilians. We don’t want ICE agents to get hurt. But it has to be done,” Fabbricatore said.
He acknowledged that enforcement actions will be easier to carry out in cities and states where local authorities are welcoming and cooperative, but asserted that sanctuary jurisdictions controlled by radical leftists will also need to be cleaned out for the benefit of citizens who are being victimized by illegal aliens.
“ICE wants the help because it does make the job easier and safer. It’s safer for the whole community when the locals are actually helping out, but ICE has the authority to go in there and enforce immigration law,” Fabbricatore asserted.
“So maybe we plus-up initially using some agents from other federal agencies and use them in some of these blue areas… It’s going to be a lot of work to get it done in the San Diegos, the Denvers, inner New York City, but it has to be done.”
“We can no longer just stand by and say ‘Well, it’s difficult there. They don’t want to help, so we’re not going to bother with it.’ Enough is enough, and I think President Trump feels that way. We’re going to go in. We’re going to do the hard work. And we’re going to make America safe.”
