But… but… all this time the argument has been “We can’t use the police to enforce federal laws!”
Now they want to use the police to block federal law enforcement? 🤔
It’s the blocking federal law enforcement that’s the issue. They don’t have to help but actively blocking is criminal.
This is a really bad look for the mayor since the focus is on violent criminals.
If arrested and convicted, he’d never be able to hold office again. Not a smart move.
It’s a bad look either way. You give in to the knee-jerk deportation movement… and end up paying reparations decades later, or you resist and are breaking federal law.
They’ve set up a lose/lose situation here.
