MADISON, Wis. -- At the Wisconsin State Capitol Tuesday morning, representatives and local leaders introduced a bill that aims to protect immigrants who go to places like churches, schools, or hospitals from being detained solely based on their immigration status.
One week prior, President Trump signed an executive order that would allow law enforcement to enter sensitive areas to detain immigrants.
“The idea of federal agents entering a space where people are worshiping, it’s absolutely frightening to me,” said Reverend Dr. Jonathan Grieser of Grace Episcopal Church.
Rev. Grieser is trying to prepare the community for the future but feels uncertain about how new federal immigration policies will be carried out locally.
“These decisions seem to be taken without consideration for the implications for the larger community, for our most vulnerable people in our society,” said Rev. Grieser.
Rev. Grieser was one of many church leaders that stood beside Democrats at the State Capitol Tuesday morning. There, they introduced the bill that would protect immigrants who go to places like churches, schools, or hospitals from being detained solely based on their immigration status.
Under the proposed bill, law enforcement at the state and federal level would need a judicial warrant to get access to such places to detain an individual.
“It simply enforces that officials follow the proper procedures of securing a judicial warrant before attempting to enter any of these sacred and sensitive places,” said President of Forward Latino, Darrlyn Morin.
Democrats say the bill applies to all civilians and their constitutional right to protect against unlawful searches unless there’s a judicial warrant.
“Chaos is not a safety solution. Hate is not a policy, and fear is not safety,” said Representative of the 76th District Francesca Hong.
“Kids deserve to feel safe in school. People deserve to seek medical care without fear of separation or detainment," said Representative of Wisconsin 8th District in Milwaukee Sylvia Ortiz-Vele.
If churches aren’t considered safe, Rev. Grieser worries about vulnerable people in the community.
"What we see already, I think, is that people who are fearful and worried about their situation are probably going to be less likely to reach out for help," said Rev. Gieser.
Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos told News 3 Now last week that Republicans would be writing legislation that would force law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration officials.
If Republican legislation like this is put forward, Governor Evers is almost certain to veto it.
For those who don’t know, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ is a Sanctuary City.
This is not the wild west...there are no sanctuary cities, schools or any other designated place.
If you're here illegally, you have broken the law. Period!!
So suddenly Democrats are all about church.
Plantations of the left need their slaves. Cheap labor and cheap virtue signaling pawns assigned to community activists when mobs need to be mobilized and ballots need to be filled out.
It’s time for churches to start paying their “fair share” of taxes. It’s also time for lawsuit loser pays. This crap has got to stop. These azhos weren’t raising this much hell when Joe Pedo the child molester was signing EOs left and right ABOUT ANYTHING. They never once threw their tantrums while Chester the child molester was ripping America apart.
“Chaos is not a safety solution. Hate is not a policy, and fear is not safety,”
And political slogans are not an argument.
Good luck with that Wisconsin Democrats. The Supremes ruled a couple of years ago that the Feds were the ones totally responsible for immigration policies.
Just a quick glance on Reverend Dr. Jonathan Grieser of Grace Episcopal Church... His post on Jan 26 starts off with:
“Today, following the 10:00 service, you’re invited to participate in a series titled “Radical Love.” Sponsored and organized by our Pride Committee, the series is intended to introduce us to new ways of thinking about LGBTQ+ inclusion, and new ways of thinking about the Christian faith in light of the experiences of our LGBTQ+ siblings in Christ.”
This is the mindset that is guiding this move to protect the illegal invasion.
Like, the groin area?
First off they aren’t immigrants, secondly, they are breaking federal law, not state law, and as such, states do not have the right to protect crim8nals thst commit federal crimes, or at least shouldn’t have the right to do so!
Federal law, including E.O.s trumps municipal and state law.
Turn loose the trail dogs and “tree” those illegals!!!!(grin)
[[ the series is intended to introduce us to new ways of thinking]]
Hey rev, nothing new under the sun! It’s the same old ABOMINATION that it has always been! And God still condemns it! You are leading people t9 hell if you claim God accepts it and doesn’t condemn it, beczuse they will continue in their sin and never come to a point of repentance! And those that are saved but gay, will have to face the consequences of their sin!
“judicial warrant”
The ICE should always seek one out when a warrant is required.
The ICE has a big backlog. It needs to get the removal ‘machinery’ working at top speed.
Pretty sure that Federal law “trumps” these State liberal idiots.
I am thinking that once the easy-to-find illegal immigrants dry up that the Trump Administration is going to surround state prisons and jails and enter them by force to nab the criminal invaders. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that federal law allows ICE to go anywhere anytime to nab illegal aliens. If that comes to pass they should pay for the incarceration of these animals in their country of origin to finish up their sentences. No prison guard in America is going to draw arms to fight armed ice agents and get arrested.
“protect immigrants who go to places like churches, schools, or hospitals”
The ICE can go where the general public can go.
