Pennsylvania State Police Become A Sanctuary Agency

In an apparent bow to media and political pressure, the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) have adopted a new policy that significantly ties the hands of the Keystone State’s 4,719 state troopers and 1,850 civilian employees when dealing with possible illegal aliens.

Issued January 30, the new policy, officially known as AR-714 and titled “Arrest/Detention or Death of Foreign Nationals,” does the following:

• Limits asking about immigration status inquiries to only people who are already the subject of a traffic stop, detention or criminal arrest, i.e., no asking when there isn’t already “reasonable suspicion” of a violation of state or local law and no asking, for example, passengers rather than the driver of a stopped car;
• Prohibits detention or arrest based solely on immigration status;
• Prohibits detention or arrest based solely on an administrative immigration warrant, i.e., an immigration detainer;
• Declares immigration detainers not to be evidence of any possible criminality, i.e., they cannot be a basis for further investigation; and
• Allows but does not require notification to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after an encounter with a possible illegal alien is over, but forbids detaining them until ICE arrives.

Well, anything the Federal Government has on the books, is now null and void according to these people sworn to enforce the laws of our nation.

Exactly!

Ping to PA State Police Sanctuary Policy.

So being an ILLEGAL ALIEN has become a protected class of criminals...

[IC Ken]

PA state troopers are very professional and courteous. What a shame to take away their dignity.

[DoughtyOne]

Disgusting

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, where indeed?

“So being an ILLEGAL ALIEN has become a protected class of criminals...”

Yup. The rest of us are subject to the littlest of crimes being harshly prosecuted - ask any Republican operative in D.C. - but you can use violence to get into the country illegally and that’s OK, you got a right to violate a whole host of Federal laws with impunity.

Thanks all you folks who voted for Rats ‘n RINOs — this is the world you gave us!

Last year, I walked into the men’s room at a PA gas station. A trooped was just leaving the stall and, well, let’s just say he was never taught to raise the seat when he was standing up.

As he was washing his hands, I said “Hey, you wanna come back and clean your urine off the seat?”

He did and I proceeded to do my business wondering if he was waiting for me up the road.

I shared that story with a higher ranking PA trooper buddy who laughed and said something about the young punks on the force.

The consequences of electing an extreme Liberal as your Governor.

Really? Josh Shapiro, a Democrat with his head firmly implanted in our governor’s ass? Need I say more?

So, the Pennsylvania State Troopers are supposed to drop their pants and their skivvies, turn around and bend over every time an illegal is around?

I doubt if the rank and file is happy with this edict from the PC higher-ups.

> no asking when there isn’t already “reasonable suspicion” of a violation of state or local law <

I’m not overjoyed about that. But on the other hand, cops should not have the power to just walk up to folks and interrogate them. If no law has been broken, then no questions should be asked. We do not - yet - live in a police state.

Folks have a right to be left alone, unless there is reasonable suspicion that they have broken a law.

Illegal aliens are favored over citizens.

This may be the first country in the history of nation states where that is true. Illegal aliens have rights granted to them that citizens don’t receive benefit of.

Keep voting people of other nationalities into office and it’s going to get worse...........AOC said it best in how they see themselves once in office...as quoted...

....”I’m the boss...how about dat!”

[Spacetrucker]

Agreed. I have known a number of them over the years, professional to a man/woman. This will steam a good number of them certainly.

Really...where the hell is the Attorney General?
