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

Posted on 03/07/2018 4:14:07 PM PST by Texas Fossil

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.

Why not attack our enemies rather than an ally doing his job. Do you understand how slow justice moves? Would you prefer the Lynch bitch back in office?

Of course they wouldn’t. Oakland is known as little Africa. Sessions knows this.

“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 should have triggered an immediate arrest.

It doesn’t matter what Sessions does, you like all the people in Oakland, are going to attack him as if he were the criminal.

Move it as far north as possible. There is a Federal Court up by Redding, I think. Better yet, move it to a military court. Just because California opened up this dance, does not mean they get to de cide where the dance is held. What would Obama have done, if everything was reversed?

This issue threatens to follow the pattern of inaction and smoke-blowing that accompanied states passing legalization of federally proscribed drugs. When the federal government did nothing to stop the spate of pot laws, the states figured they could get away with anything. That the feds were paper tigers, all talk and no bite. They were right when it came to the dangerous drug legalizations, are they going to be right about sanctuary, and an end to borders?

“Force is the only thing these troglodytes understand.”

Yes. Leftists understand and react to three things:

1. Threats of violence.

2. Violence.

3. Death.

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

Don’t think a military court would fly. Redding sounds good, but the defense would likely ask for a change of venue to a more sympathetic part of the state. As for Obama, I’m truly grateful that I don’t have to worry about what he would do any more.

LBJ’s attorney general would have arrested the Oakland mayor if she defied any federal law. What has Sessions really done?

The use of marijuana does have it’s
consequences. Those running California
now, we’re hippies in the 60’s.
They were anti-government then, and
anti-government still. Can’t argue
with stupid.
