Perceptive suggestion. I think you may be right.
Arizonans are too smart for that. I hope they run ICE out on a rail.
I think we need to all flood our Congress-critters’ mailboxes and phone lines with demands that either the employees at ICE be fired and replaced by people who will do what they’ve been employed to do, or else ICE should be defunded and those funds given directly to border states’ law enforcement for the expressed purpose of hiring people to deal with illegal immigration.
We cannot have law enforcement refusing to enforce the law, and we can’t have the feds picking and choosing which law enforcement entities they will accept criminal referrals from. It’s bad enough that judges get away with doing that in civil cases, but if we allow law enforcement to do it in criminal cases this nation is toast. The Congress-critters should be able to grasp that, and if they can’t then we need ot make sure they hear about it until they grasp it.
