Sessions Personally Goes After Oakland Sanctuary Mayor With Blunt Media Broadside
The Western Journal ^ | March 7, 2018 at 11:53am | Chris Agee

In the wake of news that the United States is suing California for its immigration laws, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions took aim at the state’s leaders, and one mayor in particular.

He singled out Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who sparked controversy last month by warning the city’s residents of an impending federal immigration raid.

That move led to backlash from officials including Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan. He confirmed that the agency would be launching a “review” of what he called an “irresponsible decision” that tipped off criminals living in the state.

Sessions maintained that tone in comments he made Wednesday morning during a speech at an event supporting the law enforcement community.

“Federal agents must be able to do that job that Congress directed them to do,” he said, asserting that policies like those of Schaaf and others across the state put the lives of officers in jeopardy.

Except drug laws would rightly fall under the 10th amendment. Immigration and foreign invasion doesn’t

Most venues north of I-80 would deal with Libby Schaaf in a proper manner.

Because posters on anon message boards are so much smarter than actual prosecutors who know the law.

.

Just think how swiftly this knowing the law matter would have been resolved, if the Republicans controlled the House, Senate, and Presidency.         Change the law.

Yeah there are plenty of us north of I 80 who would do that. More likely though in the lower third of the state where they have magnolias, cottonmouths and a southern accent. Cairo, IL is less than 200 miles from the Mississippi state line.

It’s such a relief to hear Republicans to get uppity with the crazy Dems.

Yes, and I’m ready for them to take off the gloves and get down to exposing the criminals.
