"In the next two years, it's going to be big for Republicans," Mace said. "We have an opportunity to get more Trump-supporting governors to help his agenda, and, in my home state of South Carolina, looking to lower taxes, making sure we're working with ICE deporting illegal aliens. I just fired a sanctuary sheriff in Charleston, South Carolina. We have MS-13 gangs, we have cartels in South Carolina.

State’s have enormous power not delegated to Washington. Tax policy, electoral integrity, and perhaps most importantly education reform.
Yeah but… if Mace primaried Linda she would be a national hero.
Any Trumper with a brain will realize they can have much more impact as a Governor or Senator than as one of 435.
She’s attractive. You gotta acknowledge that and she’ll stay attractive. She may turn us off from time to time but think about when Roe was overturned. She spoke out against the stupidity of the gop reaction while the left went work in conjunction with Linda the idiot. Cost us in November.
Rino governors do stupid things to turn off the conservatives. Think Christie Todd Whitman. Then there’s the ragged who’s name I can’t remember.
Timing is everything.
Her iron is hot.
Go girl.
Quoting Mace in the article: “ I just fired a sanctuary sheriff in Charleston, South Carolina.”
Perhaps a FReeper in SC could enlighten the forum on how a Congresswoman can “fire” a sanctuary sheriff, given that sheriff is an elected official. Is this merely political hyperbole or did Mace have an active role to turn the sheriff out of office?
Mace is crazy as a bed bug. She craves the limelight. MAGA voters should think twice before supporting her. She’ll break your heart. SC is better off with her as 1 of 435.
**how a Congresswoman can “fire” a sanctuary sheriff**
You got that right. Too much exaggeration in politics. Trump’s guilty too right? The left takes him literally so that they can call them lies.
**She’ll break your heart. SC is better off with her as 1 of 435.**
To that I would say think of the big picture. MTG and Bobert are best as one of 435. They’re mouths are as big as they are refreshing. Mace can get us more as she moves on.
She’d be a good gov. A good ornament for the party. You’d rather Mazie Hirano be on the tube?
Not that I’m a Trumper or have a brain.
Looks like the move is to return more power to the States as the Trump agenda - limiting Federal intrusion and size of their operation. It will be challenging - the population doesn’t understand federalism and the elite fight against it. The ultimate Trump move to minimize the impact of central government on society and reserve only the minimum (Constitutional) power to the presidency. Prevent executive orders in the future to change things - I see the effort to change how processes work, money flows, and defined parameters (like two sexes, no DEI) that to reverse those puts your face against the American will/determination.
“Mace is crazy as a bed bug. She craves the limelight.”
Ignore this troll.
Nancy Mace has a 91% conservative rating from Heritage Action.

She ought to run against Lindsay Graham.
Voters in Charleston County, S.C., which includes the state’s largest city, have ousted a sheriff who made the county a sanctuary for criminal aliens.
The sanctuary policy became an issue in now-lame-duck Sheriff Kristin Graziano’s re-election bid after the Center flagged it in a recent update to our sanctuary map and list. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), whose district includes Charleston, and who sits on the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, launched an inquiry into the sanctuary policy after learning from ICE that 51 individuals had been released from the Charleston County jail despite ICE detainers.
One of the individuals freed under the sanctuary policy was Randolph Clarke, a visa overstayer who was arrested in September 2024 on two counts of soliciting a young teenager for sex. According to emails published by the sheriff in response to Mace’s inquiry, ICE filed a detainer on Clarke the day after his arrest.
A jail officer responded that “per the sheriff” they would not hold Clarke after he posted bond without a removal order signed by an immigration judge, and that “he has a GPS on so he will be easy to find if y’all need him”.
The ICE officer replied that he could not provide a final removal order because Clarke had not been to immigration court yet, but “if you turn him over to us, we can get that for you!” Instead, Clarke was released after seven days. Reportedly, ICE was able to pick him up within a couple of days, but the better solution would have been for the jail to simply allow ICE to take custody of him at the jail, a secure location.
This is ICE’s predicament — in cases like this, sanctuary jurisdictions make deliberately unreasonable demands that ICE produce documents that are impossible to provide, which results in the release of criminal aliens who could be removed instead of being set free to offend again.
The sheriff’s specific demand for final orders of removal signed by a judge is especially unreasonable, because only about 10 percent of illegal aliens in the country have actually already been arrested and completed immigration proceedings, and would have that document in their file (which would take ICE days to obtain).
The new sheriff-elect of Charleston County, retired police chief Carl Ritchie, has pledged to do “almost everything” differently from Graziano, including rescinding the sanctuary policy and restoring the 287(g) partnership with ICE.
Had she not, I never would have known.
Thanks for the explanation of Mace’s role in this matter. It reinforced a point that she is better suited to remaining in Congress.
