Very busy day. Remember the political ideology exposed within the M-DSPD investigation, and the sunlight avoided by the MSM? Factual information, sworn affidavits etc., knowledge is leverage. Changes in approach are ideologically connected.

Ping...
One falls, they might all fall...
Just saw it on CNN. Of course NY says sue us. Lol
WINNING!
Trump would have made a Great Panzer Leader. He pops up where you don’t expect him.
God watch over this Man, and his Family.
Complies with America.
Not Trump.
Yes, we need to keep Our Leaders in Prayer along with Our Country...Amen
Oh what the threat of a RICO case can do!
Nope, Not tired of winning!
A Democrat governor like Moonbeam could allocate state money to make up what the feds withhold (LA, SF, e.g.). Not that his state is flush with money - to the contrary.
Mayor Emanuel in Chicago is defying the order, and IL is in terrible shape with its unfunded pension liabilities. There’s NO money to spare in that state, but he could borrow it, I guess.
A Republican governor like Scott in FL can say sink or swim on your own.
They will all cave - it’s only a matter of time.
This just came over our local news:
‘Build bridges, not walls’: SLC will not enforce federal immigration mandates
President Donald Trump wants city police officers to enforce federal immigration laws, and Salt Lake City refuses. Flanked by city police Chief Mike Brown, several Democratic state lawmakers and members …
Mayor Jackie Biskupski said Thursday that her city is a “welcoming community.”
“Our police department is not enforcing federal immigration policy,” Biskupski said. “The Salt Lake City Police Department has a long-standing practice against officers inquiring about the immigration status of those they come in contact with on a day-to-day basis.”
The Enriching Utah Coalition organized the event to protest President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda — building a wall between the United States and Mexico, beefing up deportation efforts, curbing federal funding for cities that act as safe havens for undocumented immigrants, and suspending legal immigration and travel from countries that are terrorism hot spots, all of them Muslim-dominated nations.
Brown said his department hasn’t previously enforced immigration law, nor does it plan to do so in the future.
“The residents in Salt Lake City need to have trust in their police officers,” he said. “If police officers were forced to detect and detain immigrants who are here without authorization, this trust is easily broken.”
Brown said that people with criminal warrants will be investigated normally but individuals won’t be arrested or profiled based on their ethnicity or immigration status.
Rep. Mark Wheatley, D-Murray, stated that Trump’s proposed policy would be “stepping backward.”
“This is not the Utah way,” Wheatley said. “We have to ensure that our families are safe. Yes, we want to ensure that we take care of the criminal element, but let’s not do it the executive way where there’s no due process.”
Wednesday, Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams said the county cooperates with federal immigration authorities and would continue to do so — particularly as their efforts relate to drug dealing and “those people who are preying on our communities and making them unsafe.”
But McAdams added that federal immigration law is “broken.”
“We don’t support law-breakers. We don’t support illegal immigration. But we’re going to use our limited resources to protect the public safety, not to arrest landscapers and others that are in our community.”
Both McAdams and Salt Lake City Council member Charlie
and Salt Lake City Council member Charlie Luke said Trump’s pledge to cut funding for noncompliance amounts to a violation of the 10th Amendment.
“We’ll see if that’s going to slow him down,” Luke said. “It doesn’t seem to right now.”
Provo police Chief John King said by phone that it would be a “very bad policy” to have local police enforce immigration laws.
Immigration-centric local policing would open up refugees to victimization and make them afraid to report crimes to police.
“We can’t forget that the reason that people are coming into America is for themselves and their families,” said King, whose mother emigrated from Ireland. Most immigrants make valuable contributions to the country, he said.
“We’re still going to arrest bad guys,” King added but “we’re going to focus on behavior” rather than immigration status or skin color.
I agree with this decision——the local police should not be involved.
.
Yes, they should. If they know or have reasonable reason to think a person is in the US illegally, they should notify and turn them over. Absolutely.
The doubletalk in the article is disgusting. The immigration laws are broken - by those who don’t enforce them and yes, the people of SLC need to trust the police to ENFORCE the laws not ignore them.
WOOHOOO President Trump! Thank you, sir.
That’s almost exactly what Gov. Scott has done.
Winning about every other hour.
Trust me, William Wilhelm will be happy to get himself and his blood suckers back on the host very quickly!
They would have to shutter entire schools as they don't have enough students if the illegals left with their families, dittos Social Service agencies, dittos hospitals, etc.
These legislators are more beholden to keeping and protecting the illegals among them, shops, restaurants, construction, all would be forced to hire Americans and pay living wages and give up all the government benefits, they can no longer imagine life without the illegal underclass.
I guess they figured out which side of their bread is buttered.
Ummmmm New York gives more in taxes to the rest of the country than it takes
Hmmmm, well, we’ll see won’t we.
