Former FOX News host and current U.S. Attorney for Washington, DC, Jeanine Pirro, announced today that her office is working with ICE to remove illegals who are ’embedded’ in the system in the DC area.
Pirro explains that the Washington, DC city council has worked very hard to prevent this from happening, which is an outrage.
She also notes that these people have been able to remain undetected for so long because no one was even asking for their status before now.

No More Sanctuary: Pirro Cracks Down on Illegal Immigration in D.C.
Jeanine Pirro, former host of Judge Jeanine at Fox News and current interim United States attorney for the District of Columbia, has announced that to combat DC’s sanctuary city policies, the immigration status of all defendants entering the DC justice system will be verified.
Pirro said that this new policy, which is in line with President Trump’s directive to “Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful,” will ensure that illegal immigrants are no longer clogging up the DC justice system. Previously, there was no such verification system, and illegal immigrants were treated as typical defendants, either facing conviction for their crimes or acquitted and released back out into DC.
