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.

"Inslee is the second Democratic governor in recent days to act in response to the Trump administration’s executive order. Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy (D) on Wednesday ordered agencies in his state to refuse detainer requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
Someone is telling the Dems to coordinate this crap.
when the South used nullification, it did not work out well for them
Time for the U.S. Treasury to “boycott” Washington. The Kenyan never put up with any states who didn’t follow his orders.
I think Inslee is running for POTUS.
I could never stand this guy.
Move the sub bases to Alaska and Hawaii. Get a base closure round going
And note that priority will be given to states and municipalities in full federal compliance.
These are good examples where the deliberate sabotaging of Federal law by state or local officials should strip them of any personal liability shield that holding office affords them.
I want to see some of these bastards driving to work in a “buy here, pay here” car.
We can recommend all kinds of actions against these democrats. I say go into their states and aggressively remove illegals, so that their non-cooperation leads to MORE being deported, until they cooperate.
Where are the federal marshals going to arrest Inslee they way JFK sent them to Tuscaloosa in 1963 to arrest George C. Wallace had not Wallace stepped aside to permit UA desegregation?
“Time for the U.S. Treasury to “boycott” Washington. The Kenyan never put up with any states who didn’t follow his orders.”
As I recall, Dems held states hostage starting in the 70’s by threatening to withhold road funding if a state didn’t set (AND ENFORCE) 55mph limits, seat belt usage, a 21 year old drinking age, and so on. They actually had Fed employees on Interstate bridges in states taking pictures and doing statistics on speeds.
Now, all of a sudden*, this is completely wrong and illegal.
*that Republicans are in power.
Another governor needing to be prosecuted...
And this in a state where whooping cough is king.
Inslee has decided that he represents illegal aliens and not citizens he should therefore be arrested for aiding and abetting illegal immigration as should all elected officials who have decided that their loyalty is to illegal aliens. We have to start calling them what they are, Un-American, Un-Patriotic traitors.
Obonzo threatened all schools that did not comply with his goofy “Boys get to shower with the girls” program.
Maybe it will take an army of volunteers to give our country some help in finding the perps. I’m in.
Nope. Years and years of leftist indoctrination. They communicate by pheromones I swear.
Good call, DV.
This is the same libtard governor that thought it was a good idea to fly the communist flag at the Washington State Capitol.
This will work only until the Federal grant money and largesse is cut off. We shall see just how defiant they are then.
No federal monies. They can do as they wish. No federal help. Sounds like a great conservative plan and way to shrink federal bureaucracy.
