“This is an attempt by the Trump Administration to intimidate jurisdictions like Santa Clara County into doing something unconstitutional and illegal.”


Upholding the law is unconstitutional?

Round up the mayor, city council and CoP.

That would get their attention.

If harboring a fugitive from justice is illegal then why isn’t it illegal for a town or state to harbor fugitives from justice. In this case, not just illegals, but illegals who have committed crimes or have been previously deported. The mayor and city council should be liable for any crime committed by any criminal, which included illegals, as long as they have a sanctuary policy. That’s not intimidation; that’s justice.

I remember hearing stories about how this was handled quite well back in the 50’s by throwing the illegals in jail for x amount of time before deporting them again and even putting them to work to pay for their incarceration until the ACLU decided it was unconstitutional to make prisoners work. I can’t see why; the tax dollars come from people who have to work to pay those taxes.

Be intimidated, don't be intimidated - whatever, you can't do anything to stop it. I'm just glad that ICE is doing its job and rounding up illegals.

This is the best part of the article:
.
Francisco-based ICE agents arrested 21 people in Santa Clara County and six in San Francisco over the past week for alleged immigration violations. Of the total Bay Area arrestees, 23 had criminal convictions including drug possession, assault, domestic violence and DUI, and four were previously deported and deemed criminal aliens by federal authorities.

K...so what is the objection?

What do they not understand about the word "Illegal Alien."

When these “sanctuary cities & states” request federal FBI, DEA, EPA, FEMA, etc. help, it should be politely refused because local/state authorities are not permitted to cooperate with Federal agencies .... so sad, so sorry, piss off.

You’re going to do what? Send the local cops to block the feds’ way? That’s an awfully good way to see your entire police department in a federal jail.

Sorry, Santa Clara, you lost this one bigly!!

because after all, their liberal hearts are in the right place

We don't care if you're intimidated or not, you can be unintimidated all the way back to Mexico, you're getting deported either way.
