St. Paul sends letter to DHS to stop ICE from using city-owned parking lots
The City of St. Paul has issued a cease-and-desist letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to stop the use of city-owned parking lots, specifically at rec centers and parks, for federal immigration operations.
The city says that DHS and other federal law enforcement agencies have used the parking lots to stage vehicles without the city’s consent, agreement, permit or statutory basis. St. Paul officials add that this action is unlawful under the city’s charter and legislative code and interferes with the public’s right to those spaces.
“Our parks and libraries are among the most valued and essential services in our city, and they exist solely to serve our residents and families,” said St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter. “When federal law enforcement repurposes them for federal operations without our authorization, it eliminates public access, erodes public trust, and undermines local control by unlawfully occupying city property.”
The city said it is prepared to pursue all available legal actions, including seeking immediate injunctive relief, if federal agencies continue using the properties after receiving the letter.
It’s public property, right? I’m pretty sure federal law, particularly regarding immigration which Democrats have stressed is a federal responsibility (which is mostly true), trumps (sic) local laws.
Of course, St. Paul can probably find a friendly liberal judge to side with them, after which that ruling will be overturned on appeal
And that is the direct result of unhinged Democrat discourse.
The Democrats who kept telling us that “no one is above the law” when they were trying to jail Donald Trump apparently think that illegals are above our immigration laws, and will use every trick they possibly can to prevent the laws from being enforced.
The Democrats who kept telling us that “no one is above the law”
And you still listen to what democrats have to say? Hint they are all liars because they know their personals quest for power and wealth at the expense of taxpayers doesn’t sell well at the ballot box.
As far as parking at the parks, since they all operate on a first come first served basis, the city has no leg to stand on. In some area there are park police to regulate who can go in (like at national and state parks). And many parks are posted for no overnight parking (to deter vagrant, drug sales and public homosexual behavior). But if park use is open to the public without restriction, then it is also open to federal agents.
The Fayette Fascist keeps braying about the laws as if being present in the U.S. without permission (not a crime) is as serious as rape, tax fraud, assault and battery, theft or trying to overturn an election!!
Speeding is responsible for more damage than is being present in the U.S. without permission (not a crime). Millions of Americans speed EVERY DAY!! Over 40,000 Americans die from auto accidents every year!!!
Note the difference.
Just sayin’
Wonder if they have universal healthcare.
Oh sorry sorry sorry…
Makes sense now.
Bwaha!
