U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is prepared to go to court with two "sanctuary cities," New York City, New York, and Denver, Colorado, if they fail to provide personal information on illegal immigrants with criminal records released in each city instead of being transferred to ICE.
We expect them to comply" with subpoenas for the information, said acting ICE Director Matt Albence at a press conference in Washington on Thursday. "If they dont comply, well be working with DOJ to go to district court to force them to comply with the requirements, Albence said, noting the rule in the U.S. Code that he said justified the move. The individuals that fail to comply can be held in contempt," he said. "They can show up to court with a toothbrush because they might not be going home that night. Because they could be jailed for failure to comply with a lawful order from a judge. Thats the route were going.

Put them in General Population at a Federal Prison. Let them meet some of those nice folks they defend.

As a CO resident, I hope Denver officials go to jail.Denver is quickly turning into the San Francisco of the MTZ states. So sad.

I agree and applaud this action and the perpetrators belong in jail, but I think it is misguided to go after New York and Colorado first, they should have Taken Out the Big Chief of Illegal Aliens first, California, and Jailed the entire Government, State, County and City leaders. Every Other State would fall inline immediately.

Partner, we agree with ya.
Nobody that has come into this country Illegally should have any sanctuary, period.
All the mayors and Police Chiefs that agree with the Sanctuary status on their cities need to go to jail.
The Illegal Aliens have broken our laws by coming into the U.S. Illegally, already.

Great news for true American patriots trying to preserve their homeland. The absence of these corrupt officials from evil deeds would be welcome news!
To: 11th_VA
Not sure why ICE targeted these two cities since there are many more. Still, this is a promising move on their part.
Federal Immigration statutes are the law of the land. I don't see any argument a city may use that would stand up in a federal court. However, sanctuary States could use the 9th and 10th Amendments as an argument, weak as it may be. Arizona partly lost a USSC decision regarding their State to enforce their own immigration law. Some internal State provisions were upheld. The parts denied by the USSC were just in the ruling, since it was within the fedgov jurisdiction and not a state's.

I agree. I was also trying to exhibit some frustration that they’ve allowed it to go on this long.
We allow bad things to become entrenched, then wonder why it expands across the board.

I think you’re addressing illegal aliens and “dreamers”. I agree.
I was addressing elected officials who support the sanctuary ideology in deference to federal government laws.

I know what it’s supposed to represent. This has been going on for five to ten years. Where has ICE been?
ICE has been a toothless joke with regard to sanctuary zones.
People get shot on the streets by five time losers and... NOTHING!

Just heard on the radio a few hours ago that Massachusetts is about to become a sanctuary *state*. There's a bill in the state legislature that's close to passage. The report said that our RINO Governor has threatened to veto it...but the problem is that both houses of our legislature are 95% Rat...so an override is sure to happen.

Here in Massachusetts there's a municipal court judge...and a court clerk...who've been charged by the US Attorney for thwarting ICE's effort to seize several wetbacks who were encouraged (and assisted) by the judge,and the clerk,to sneak out of a secret door so that they'd avoid the ICE agents waiting at the main exit.
It was big news here a few months ago...mainly because the TV stations and the papers were outraged by the charges.
