(ATLANTA) — Vice President Mike Pence’s visit Thursday to Atlanta included a stop at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s field office and a conversation about the “broader mission of border security.” He also blasted Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms over her decision last year to bar the city jail from holding federal immigration detainees and thanked the men and women who work for ICE. Pence highlighted some of the ICE arrests made in the area, including one Wednesday night in Riverdale, Georgia, news outlets reported. “Atlanta and Georgia are safer today because of the outstanding work of the men and women of ICE in Georgia,” Pence said. The visit also comes amid President Donald Trump’s declaring a “national emergency” at the U.S.-Mexico border in an attempt to get more than $8 billion for a border wall — a move Congress tried to block last week.
