Fear is growing in immigrant communities that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is getting ready to launch massive raids across California - a threat that activists and politicians say is retaliation against the Golden State's bold "sanctuary" policies. ...
This isn't a threat ... it's simply federal immigration agents acting to properly enforce the laws of the United States ... and that is a FACT. And, Kalifornia's sanctuary policies are not bold ... they're nothing but willful, seditious obstruction to the rule of law.
The raids would again pit left-leaning California against U.S. immigration officials intent on doubling down on fighting illegal immigration and could be the first big test of the state's new sanctuary legislation. California became the first "sanctuary state" in the country Jan. 1 when it implemented Senate Bill 54, a far-reaching measure aimed at preventing law enforcement officers from helping to carry out Trump's promised crackdown on illegal immigration. ...
It is NOT Trump's crackdown ... it is the People's crackdown ... actual enforcement of existing, longstanding law against ILLEGAL immigration. And, if Kalifornia's "selective law" enforcement officers do not wish to assist in actually enforcing the actual law ... fine ... stay the hell out of the way.
PACT, a grass-roots advocacy organization, is refining its Rapid Response Network, a team of about 700 U.S. citizen volunteers trained to respond to ICE sightings across Santa Clara County. While they don't interfere with enforcement operations or interact with ICE agents, the volunteers will act as an extra set of eyes during enforcement operations, Ruiz said. ...
You dipsh!ts need to stay out of the way and not do ANYTHING to impede the enforcement of our immigration laws or else you can go to jail, too.
"What they (i.e., Kalifornia) have done is force my officers to arrest dangerous criminals on their turf, in their homes, and their places of business, rather than arresting them in the safety and security of a county jail," the ICE director told Fox News' Neil Cavuto on Jan. 2. "It's ridiculous to knowingly and intentionally put law enforcement at risk." ...
Absolutely, undeniably TRUE ... but, the libtards who control Kalifornia abhor the rule of law. They are willing anarchists whenever it suits their leftist ideology.
Hing said ICE agents will likely go after undocumented immigrants who have missed scheduled deportation hearings, searching their homes and places of employment.
"When they're there, they're going to ask everybody else for their documents - the so-called collateral arrests," he said. "It might get ugly."
"Collateral arrests" are a controversial practice in which ICE, while attempting to apprehend undocumented immigrants with criminal records, sweeps up other undocumented residents such as family members or co-workers at the same location. ...
Will ICE make collateral arrests? If they discover other ILLEGAL aliens, while they are there, then I certainly hope that they do exactly that - it's not "controversial" - it's called enforcing the law. "It might get ugly," eh? Well, that THAT possible eventuality is the sole fault of Kalifornia.
California Sens. Kamala Harris and Dianne Feinstein sent a letter to Homan on Wednesday expressing concern that "rather than focusing efforts on violent criminals, raids carried out in neighborhoods and workplaces could result in the deportation of individuals who are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time." ...
Wow ... both of Kalifornia's senators are willfully ignorant buffoons! If you do not want the apprehension of ILLEGAL aliens to occur in Kalifornia neighborhoods, then you two silly cows need to convince Kalifornia to turn over the ILLEGAL aliens when they are in city or county lockup - it's as simple as that. Otherwise, federal immigration agents will be forced to go find and apprehend them wherever they are, and your mindless comment about "wrong place at the wrong time" is nothing more than a stupid euphemism for "criminals getting caught" - because these people are ILLEGAL aliens who have unlawfully invaded our country - period.
"Immigrants are the backbone of our country, and such raids will only incite fear in our communities and undermine public safety," he said in a statement. "We must stand up for their rights."
No ... hard-working, productive citizens who respect our laws are the backbone of our country. Immigrants who ILLEGALLY enter our country or who ILLEGALLY over-stay their visa are criminals who have NO right to remain within our borders. If you "stand up" for their nonexistent right to be here, then you are flouting the rule of law and should be prosecuted as an accessory to a criminal act.
