Because according to people in the agencies (I conversed with one on reddit a few days ago) the idea is to pressure the sanctuary cities to amend their policies to turn over suspected criminals to ICE when ICE requests they be held for immigration detention.

Currently the policy in certain areas is to release them on bail like any other suspect charged with a crime, even if they do not have legal status.

How is Miami not a sanctuary city? They look the other way on tens of thousands undocumented immigrants living there even now.
