[Ransom]

Merge this if it's a dupe thread title. I find this move by Trump something I thought was needed for some time.

I'll support this...course as this report is based on 'officials', I'll make no assertions this is what is happening. Yet. But if it is, it would come with my support. Agents trained to end these dangerous Sanctuary City policies used by New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Newark, etc....is exactly what is needed. These cities have stopped cooperating with federal authorities, it's more than high time authorities are sent in to protect cities failed by local authorities. Trump 2020.

How are trained snipers going to fix a policy? This seems like a waste of money and resources just to look like something is being done. Why not place these "elite" agents where they could actually use their skills?

Why are you relying on this report. Don't you have an original thought? Can't you think for yourself?

Trained.....what? Snipers did you say?

Direct action missions are short term in nature and usually involve high-risk tactical operations, border violence, drug interdictions and counter-terrorist operations. Security assistance missions involve performing threat assessments, protection details and other security duties. When they perform special reconnaissance missions, BORTAC agents gather intelligence through various means for the purposes of further identifying and stopping major violators who are involved in acts of smuggling and other criminal activities.

Waste of money?

BORTAC operators provide security and other assistance as required at high-profile events, major natural disasters—including Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005—and certain political events. Some examples of BORTAC national security missions include the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles (1992), the World Games in Buffalo (1993), the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City (2002), international airport security details during Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991) and security details at ports of entry in 1994 and 1995. BORTAC agents also responded to the Atlanta, Georgia, federal penitentiary riots as well as to acts of civil unrest at various federal immigration detention facilities. In 2000 and 2002, BORTAC agents performed security details at the World Trade Organization meeting and the G8 Summit in Canada.

I was relying on the Chicago Tribune in this particular case.
