I’d go with the old “so, walls work, eh”, but, this one is about as good as a 6 foot wall to contain Malinois dogs
Democratic governors scramble to build a legal wall against Trump’s deportation agenda
Democratic governors are racing to erect new legal barriers to President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation strategy, limiting the reach of federal immigration officials in their states.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed an order restricting how closely police can work with federal agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger on her first day in office rescinded her Republican predecessor’s executive order that encouraged such cooperation. And in Illinois, Gov. JB Pritzker called for a state oversight commission that he created to expand its investigation into immigration enforcement practices, with an additional focus on senior figures in the Trump administration.
On Friday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul became the latest to make an immigration-related move. She is seeking to end agreements that allow federal agencies like ICE to deputize local police officers for the purpose of carrying out civil deportations.
“We’re sending a strong message to ICE: You will not weaponize our police in the state of New York,” Hochul said.
“Seeking”? Hasn’t ended them? But, you know what? ICE will show up whether you want them or not, and it would work out better if you just handed over illegals caught committing crimes by law enforcement as well as honoring detainers
Taken together, the efforts paint a picture of growing alarm among state-level Democratic executives after the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, by federal immigration officers roiled the nation. National polling found voters’ support for ICE’s actions and Trump’s aggressive deportation plans have sharply dropped while the president has signaled plans to pull back on efforts in Maine and Minnesota, where Pretti and Good were killed. A POLITICO poll this week found nearly half of Americans — 49 percent — believe Trump’s deportation effort is too aggressive.
Stop whipping your dipshit, unhinged, moonbat, brainwashed voters into a lather and they won’t get hurt. Interfering with law enforcement is stupid, and you are pretty much giving them the green light to do so.
“What we’re seeing is a direct response to the Trump administration’s lawlessness and the way in which they’ve been operating with impunity,” said New York Immigration Coalition Executive Director Murad Awawdeh. “States as a whole should be embracing their ability to self-govern. They’re exercising their right to state sovereignty in this moment.”
Boy howdy, these Democrats are stupid. All that’s being doing is authorized by federal law, and states have no sovereignty in this matter. As for self governance, don’t take federal money. Also, you made the choice to shelter illegal aliens who are murderers, rapists, and child abusers.
Immigration was one of Trump’s pre election strongest talking points. All of his most recent polling has shown less than 40% approval ratings on immigration. The Cult of Trump is shrinking.
The damn holding back the Epstein files, never ever acknowledged by Teach, has failed. His name and pics are all over those files. The most damning ones I have seen are the one of him riding in the Lolita Express with an under 18yo resting her head on his chest, and another with him walking holding hands with a girl in early teens.
In documents? Epstein saying a girl bit him after he forced her to perform oral sex on him.
His Presidency will be a black mark on the history of my country
Your existence will be a black mark on the history of my country. Fortunately, that small a pimple isn’t all that important.
“Democratic governors scramble to build a legal wall against Trump’s deportation agenda”
Sorry, guys, SCOTUS decided that the Feds were solely responsible for immigration, back when Saint Obama was in office and before you decided they were bad because rulings weren’t going your way.
I know, I know: remembering past last week is PAINFUL for liberals…
There’s only one thing that would actually work to reduce problems with immigration law enforcement, and that’s for cities and states to cooperate with federal authorities. Instead, they’d rather defend the illegal immigrant criminals — and they’re all criminals, because they have to break the law to work here — rather than the law they said no one was above, and protect real American citizens.
Think back to 2024, when the Democrat mayors were combitching because Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) was shipping the illegals up to the ‘sanctuary’ cities, and dumping the costs of the illegals on their Democratic taxpayers. Then they realized the problems caused by the border crossers, but realizing the problems wasn’t enough to turn them away from their hatred of President Trump and his sensible policies on illegal immigration.
