Speaking of breaking up families:

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Thursday signed an executive order declaring that the city jail will no longer accept people detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"Atlanta has permanently ended its acceptance of ICE detainees and will immediately transfer all those remaining out of our City jail," Bottoms tweeted with a photo of her signing the order.
"We will not be complicit in an immigration policy that intentionally inflicts misery on vulnerable populations."
A spokesperson for ICE confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that all of the agency's detainees at the Atlanta City Detention Center would be transferred by the end of Thursday.
ICE did not immediately respond to a request for further comment from The Hill.
The newspaper noted that the order from Bottoms comes only months after she signed a similar executive order that halted the detention center from admitting any new ICE detainees.
That order was signed in June, amid opposition to President Trump's "zero tolerance" policy that resulted in thousands of families being separated at the southern border.
There were 205 ICE detainees in Atlanta's city jail in June. But that number had decreased to just five as of Wednesday, according to the AJC. The newspaper noted that the number fell because ICE has either deported, released or transferred some of the detainees.
“Atlanta will no longer be complicit in a policy that intentionally inflicts misery on a vulnerable population without giving any thought to the horrific fallout,” Bottoms said at a news conference, the paper reported. “As the birthplace of the civil rights movement we are called to be better than this.”
The order means the chief of Atlanta's Department of Corrections must stop receiving ICE detainees.
Agreed. Cut them off all funding.
Bottoms wants people to have scars from criminal illegal aliens. She loves scars.
New use for Gitmo ..... out of the country, too.
Courts change.......................
Liberty Monitor = Priceless Boom!!!
No problem. ICE just needs to divert some Atlanta area federal lands to crimmigrant processing and holding areas. Say for example, Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park.
Good idea. While we’re at it, bring back water boarding and next thing you know we won’t even need a fence!
Atlanta just issued an open invite to MS-13.
Okay okay, i get the porn name. But whats her real name?
Simple Federal budget fix...no Federal matching funds to Cities, Counties, States, that don’t cooperate with Federal law enforcement.
Easy peasie...Illegal greasie.
Ms Bottoms, Mayor of Atlanta.
1) they already had a little judge in a little black robe rule that illegal in a district when Sessions meekly tried it about money to sanctuary cities. Similar.
2)Demand that the Mayor’s house be the new destination for the criminals ICE locates.
His wife can bake an apple pie like Aunt Bee on Andy Griffith and take it to the alien in a wicker basket with a red checkered cloth over it. Yummy.
Sadly true.
Infuriatingly so.
There’s always GTMO
““Atlanta will no longer be complicit in a policy that intentionally inflicts misery on a vulnerable population without giving any thought to the horrific fallout,””
From last year:
“It’s easily one of the most horrific crimes of the year in the Atlanta area, and now WND has found that the lead suspect is an illegal alien from Latin America.
On June 15, police arrested three Hispanic teenagers accused of raping a 23-year-old Gwinnett County mother in front of her 4-year-old son.
The suspects are Josue Aguilar Ramirez, 19, Francisco Palencia, 17, and an unidentified 15-year-old girl. All three face charges of kidnapping, rape, cruelty to children, aggravated sodomy and aggravated battery.
The oldest, Ramirez, is an illegal immigrant who is subject to an immigration hold at the Gwinnett County Detention Center, according to online jail records.”
I wonder if the mayor would be willing to house some of that vulnerable population in her own home. Nooooo. She don’t want that riff raff around her. That’s for the little people.
Oh yes....
Thanks. On this one I didn’t read much once it said Mayor.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms END THIER FEDERAL FUNDING NOW!
