Border Patrol raids in Sacramento intended to send message: 'No such thing as a sanctuary state'

Border Patrol agents executed immigration enforcement raids in Sacramento, reflecting the Trump administration's stance on immigration enforcement despite legal obstacles. U.S. Border chief Greg Bovino declared there are no sanctuary cities or states, asserting commitment to supporting citizens' security. Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the raids, accusing agents of racial profiling and illegal arrests. The operation occurred after a federal judge blocked racial profiling for warrantless arrests, indicating tensions between state and federal immigration policies continue to escalate across California.

U.S. Border chief Greg Bovino stated, 'There is no such thing as a sanctuary city. There's no such thing as a sanctuary state.' He emphasized, 'We've got your back, whether it's here in Sacramento or nationwide, we're here and we're not going anywhere.'

Diana Crofts-Pelayo, a spokesperson for Gov. Newsom, criticized the raids, saying, 'The Border Patrol should do their jobs - at the border- instead of continuing their tirade statewide of illegal racial profiling and illegal arrests.'
