Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) on Thursday signed an executive order blocking state law enforcement agencies from detaining undocumented immigrants at the request of federal officials, days after the Trump administration began ramping up immigration enforcement actions. Inslee’s order prevents state agencies from discriminating against or refusing service to those in living the country illegally. It also blocks those agencies from spending state resources to create or enforce a registry of citizens on the basis of religious affiliation. The order blocks the Washington State Patrol and the state Department of Corrections from detaining anyone solely on the basis of immigration status. “This executive order makes clear that Washington will not be a willing participant in promoting or carrying out mean-spirited policies that break up families and compromise our national security and, importantly, our community safety,” Inslee said at a press conference Thursday.

Yeah, but where is the new EO from Trump on the 7 country travel restriction? Thought it was to be signed some days ago....?
“I think Inslee is running for POTUS.”
Only in his mind. Used to be my rep and exchanged many an email when Bush was Pres. Of course back then he could hide behind W’s skirt on the issue of Illegals. Now it’s all on him.
stupid suggestion.
there’s no place in AK to base anything, let alone boomers or CVN.
HI is as blue as WA if not bluer.
Arrest him and cut the federal funds. This is not some game.
Eric Holder is likely coordinating it, as California hired him to lead the effort there.
This will work only until the Federal grant money and largesse is cut off. We shall see just how defiant they are then.”
Here in Washington state we always seem to have the dumbest everything: Stupid governor, stupid Patty Murray, Stupid Mayor Murray of Seattle.
Since I live outside the city limits of Seattle, I thought it was great that federal funding would be cut off to Sanctuary Seattle and some other cities. Now it appears that Inslee wants to cut off federal funding to the whole state.
And Inslee is trying to get federal funds for a high-speed rail. Obviously the conflict of spitting in the feds’ face while he has his beggar hand out for more funds does not cross his libtard mind.
Oh, and here in Washington state we also have our libtard AG Bob Ferguson who personally argued before Judge Robart to ban Trump’s immigration EO.

While running for Gov. the 1st time he said he had a 75 point economic plan. Haven't seen it yet and still waiting.
It was Eisenhower who sent federal troops to enforce Brown vs the Board of Education. Kennedy generally used Federal Marshals not a federal military force.
So the 14th amendment has no effect on states who refuse to obey the constitution? Odd.
Only the old know what happened in the late fifties and early sixties. Unfortunately I am old enough to remember. States refusal to support civil rights for their Black citizens led directly to the vast love they have for the federal government since it stood up for them.
when it was brought up about a case where an illegal, who should have been deported long ago, stopped his car on I-90 and stabbed his girlfriend to death after stripping her all in front of her 3 yro son, and left her body just off the interstate, Inslee, the governor, conveniently wasn't "familiar" with that case....
You need to pay more attention.
That will be delayed until Gorsuch is confirmed so that the inevitable District Court rejection will be overturned.
No one except Fake News claimed there would be signed order as you claim.
Dear Gov,
If you wonder how these Fed v. State arguments involving legitimate federal laws and policy turn out.....
Does the name Appomattox ring a bell?
We should explore ways to criminally charge the rat Governors. Enforcing the law isn’t optional!
He is a complete and utter moron and an embarrassment to the state. If this state had a Mt. Rushmore of democrats he would be on there with Christine Gregoire, Patty Murray, Brock Adams, Maria Cantwell, and Jim McDermott!
If the governor is ignoring laws I guess that means everybody can ignore laws as well.
Have fun with your anarchy Gov!
Can we put a fence up to protect us from the Left coast? What a bunch of stupid.
And destroys floral businesses who decline to participate in gay marriages on the basis of religious beliefs.
Inslee is going to DC to meet with Trump. Just saw it on the local news.
