ICE agents arrested two illegal aliens in a courthouse in Northern California, defying a state law that says they needed a warrant from a judge to do so.
ICE flouted a new state law that requires the warrant before arresting an illegal on courthouse grounds. After the predictable outcry from courthouse officials and others, ICE calmly gave their rationale.
Los Angeles Times:
ICE said in a statement that California’s law doesn’t supersede federal law and “will not govern the conduct of federal officers acting pursuant to duly enacted laws passed by Congress that provide the authority to make administrative arrests of removable aliens inside the United States.”
“Our officers will not have their hands tied by sanctuary rules when enforcing immigration laws to remove criminal aliens from our communities,” David Jennings, ICE’s field office director in San Francisco, said in the statement.
In other words, ICE is telling critics to go climb a tree.
ICE's actions follow the deployment of Customs and Border Patrol agents to sanctuary cities and states. The state government of California bitterly criticized that move, but find themselves unable to do anything to prevent it. The Department of Homeland Security, the agency under which ICE and CBP operate, can send its personnel anywhere they see fit to send them.

Article VI, US Constitution
Good.
Now i hope they keep this up when libtard state officers begin to physically defend the illegals from arrest.
The president has run the gauntlet, and now feels emboldened. What are they going to do...impeach him?
seems like a lot of illegal aliens at the courthouse in a lot of states ...wonder why?
One invocation of that act occurred after the unpleasantness at Fort Sumter.
“...In other words, ICE is telling critics to go climb a tree!!!!…”
I think now it is the Fed DOJ saying just try to interfere with us doing our constitutional job and see what happens to your state and to the state officials who caused this to happen....stand by!!!
totally appropriate since the sanctuary cities constitute confederacies.
Two down; millions to go.
Wake County NC (Raleigh) is bitching out loud.
F-em
Do you think cops want to defend neck-tatted gang members, drug dealers, drunks and wife beaters/rapists and/or murderers?
All the CA LEO’s I know support law and order and have to enforce laws from lunatic, Commie idiots in Sacramento.
Unless they are somehow a vigilante Leftard Bernie-supporting cop, I think most will comply.
Maybe the President should recognize the Secession of California and recommend the overturning of Texas vs. Whit.
Local law enforcement will quietly applaud and cooperate Trust me on this
They hate our politicians just as much as we do
Whit=White
Which leads me to believe that the 2020 election will be both a “wave” and a “realignment “ election. The Democrats will get blown out of the California Legislature.
So can we split California yet ?
Post #17, please.
I am a Native Californian (still live here), first federal ballot I ever cast was for Richard Nixon in 1968.
Have not voted for any GODDAMN DEMOCRAP EVER.
Much as I love your idea, I don’t think I will live long enough to see it.
Most of the folks here are dumber than a box of rocks.
