Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran is facing legal action for his partnership with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Harran applied to take part in a federal program known as 287(g), which would give officers the authority to detain illegal immigrants while performing routine police duties. But, the American Civil Liberties Union and Community Justice Project says what he's doing is illegal in Pennsylvania.

Steve Loney, the lead attorney representing the ACLU, said, "The sheriff is breaking the law by unilaterally and illegally over the objection of his county commissioners entered into an agreement with federal immigration enforcement to essentially appoint deputies at the sheriff's office as ICE agents, as immigration agents at the county's expense."

The sheriff is an elected officer. The ACLU is a bunch of lefty agitators elected by no one.

The ACLU is wrong. The county commission does not have jurisdiction over the sheriff

The ACLU lawyer is missing an o in his name. It should be looney.

Attention illegals who have committed a crime:

Bucks County, PA welcomes you with open arms. And with your own open arms, grab everything you can.

To quote that little kid to John McClane, “All the cops are into something. It’s Christmas! You could steal City Hall!”

Lawfare. The only way we are going to break this curse is by making life infinitely more difficult for the lawfarers.

Curious how the SCOTUS continues to promote Federalism for Immigration matters, allowing States to decide this fundamental issue on a “voluntary basis” — this is one of the few defined Powers of the Federal Govt: Protect the Borders of our Nation against all Enemies foreign and Domestic. State and Local Govts that pass laws that are defacto Open Borders/Free Migration are in direct conflict with the US Constitution, but the America-hating Social Engineers carry the day.
I hope this Sheriff of Bucks County PA appeals this all the way to SCOTUS as he is clearly within his Constitional duuties to protect his constituents from Invaders.

Never forget that it was Stalin that ordered the creation of the ACLU.

It is time to dismantle the ACLU, and imprison those who work diligently to destroy the US. They do not work to improve, but to destroy. They are the OG fifth column in our country.

Pennsylvania Ping!

Please ping me with articles of interest.

FReepmail me to be added to the list.

Bucks County is a Phillyburg NE of the city.
Politically it is a spectrum ranging from deep blue along the Delaware to magenta-red in its extreme NW.

Perhaps the county commissioners opinions aren’t legally sound.

Perhaps.

The ACLU is frequently asked to explain its defense of certain people or groups — particularly controversial and unpopular entities such as the Ku Klux Klan, the Nation of Islam, and the National Socialist Party of America. We do not defend them because we agree with them. Rather we defend their right to free expression and free assembly...

Unless you were on the border in 2005 drawing attention to the invasion. Then the ACLU put you on their 'hatewatch' which I was proudly on and why I think it's important to maintain their true lineage and continuously targeted efforts .
