In response to misconceptions and some outrage on social media, Lower Merion police said Friday they were not involved in detaining a Honduran man outside his Haverford apartment last month. ---SNIP--- ICE agents said they were going to call Lower Merion police to break open one of the car’s windows since her husband wouldn’t get out. “They were using Lower Merion police as a threat tactic,” she said. “It was a very traumatic time for me. … They were putting a lot of resources into detaining someone who was trying to adjust his status and who had no criminal record, which is kind of bizarre.”

We are living in Bizarro World. The police had to make a statement just for APPEARING to help ICE.
The comments section after the story was removed. I am sure there is a lot more to the story than is reported.
Lies of omission equal fake news.

Oh, no, it wasn’t us. It was the big mean ICE who did it. Pretty please, don’t blame us.

Why are the police worried about a bunch of SJW types on social media? I can’t believe how much power these children living at home with mommy or old cat ladies wield in this world thanks to the twitter and Facebook. Most probably are not even from the city of Merion, some might not even be US citizens. You can have a FB or Twitter account from anywhere in the world and LIE about your location.

Why don’t they explain why they did not help? Seems like they should be helping ICE and in turn help make their community safer.

Lower Merion is elite liberal country and opposed to Trump. The left wing media love any story that will make Trump look bad and stir up the base even if it means throwing LE under the bus.
All this theater is part of "The Resistance". So while the agitators are a few SJW losers I am sure they have some well connected ACLU type lawyers supporting them behind the scenes.

We are at the pivot: the Left will destroy the West, or the West will destroy the Left.

It’s not going to be possible to destroy the Left, because it is the new (False, Satanic) religion of 40-50% of the American people.

Most of them were born here.

Their creed:
Climate
Government in charge of health care
LGBTQ
Open borders
Cosmology (i.e., no need for God to explain creation)
social “justice”
Marxism (but deny it!)
Abortion
PC
feminism
etc.

Most of them don’t realize it’s a religion. They think they are atheists or agnostics or progressive Christians or progressive Jews.

But that is why logical discussion of issues will never work.

I think calling them out as Satanic religionists is a possibility-—not because they oppose Satan, but becuase they oppose (they think) religion.

Honduran here illegally. Fair-game for ICE agents. Sorry lefties. You can’t have it both ways. Illegal is illegal.

"They were putting a lot of resources into detaining someone who was trying to adjust his status..."

...from illegal to legal (on subsidies).

Now they’re rushing around to address a situation that has been active since 2008. Nine years is a long time in which to get it done. Why didn’t he make the proper applications long ago, and why didn’t his bride insist that he do that before she married him? Lefties think fake moral outrage is an excuse for lawlessness, and that their adorable love story should set aside the law of the land.
