I.C.E. Prepares To Sue City Of Portland Over Police Dereliction Of Duty
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 30, 2018 | Brock Simmons

Posted on 07/31/2018 6:57:15 AM PDT by Cheerio

As Portland mayor Ted Wheeler ordered the Portland Police Bureau to stand down and let the far left mob lay siege to the I.C.E. facility, employees at the building were helpless as they called for emergency services on at least two occasions due to the violence from the unhinged protesters. Police didn’t show up to help.

Now the I.C.E. employees are fighting back, threatening to sue the city for a violation of their 14th Amendment rights to equal protection under the law.

Willamette Week reports:

The union that represents U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers says on at least two occasions last month two federal ICE employees called the Portland police while being harassed by protesters—but cops did not show up, because the Portland mayor had ordered them not to intervene.

Court after court after court have ruled that the police have no duty to protect.

Sessions recused himself from his job. He is practically invisible. Even Rod Rosenstein has difficulty finding him!

ICE shouldn’t have to sue them. The American taxpayers should be suing them. It’s the taxpayers who have to pay for these border-jumping freeloaders to have their “better life”.

OK, someone correct me if I am wrong, but could it be so simple as to halt ALL federal funding to cities, counties, states, whoever; if they will not enforce federal law?
Seriously, why is this not an option? Put the screws to these lawless leftists! They will fold without sugar-momma government feeding them.

Police didn’t show up to help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bet they would have showed up if the feds opened fire on the communist agitators.

The admin. tried, a judge ruled against last week. It is fine for cities to not enforce the law, but illegal for the federal government to withhold funds on those grounds, apparently. It makes your head spin — there is no rhyme or reason whatsoever to how these judges rule. They contradict themselves from case to case. And nobody does anything about it.

The Portland mayor was aiding and abetting criminal activity. Charges should be filed.

As heavily armed as I have seen ICE, I’m surprised they would need help from anyone.

...

That’s state law I believe. This case would be about equal protection under the Constitution.

They plan on voting.

They misunderstood the English and thought they were supposed to vote for the Grammies. Love those Latin pop stars.

Watch for one little 4 foot 10 inch tall judge to emphatically rule that ICE and Trump have no power. He alone has the power and he says hands off the illegals and the Mayor.

Voter polling place official:
“Do you have a valid local voter ID card?”

Illegal alien gang member:
“I got a fistful of ‘em right here. Pick one. Yeah, I’m Dr. Winthrop Havershire, MD. Now let me vote.”

“As heavily armed as I have seen ICE, I’m surprised they would need help from anyone.”

Seems odd to me also. I wouldn’t expect ICE to open fire on the crowd surrounding an ICE employee’s car (not yet, at least), but several gallons of highly pressurized pepper spray or a night stick shampoo from a significant ICE contingent...

Well, that would only be the minimum I would expect in a situation like that. Really...they need to look out for their own.

Maybe...but discovery in this case may provide evidence that the Mayor specifically told the cops not to act! if that happens the mayor is toast IMO!
