New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick made waves earlier this week when she stated illegal immigration by foreign nationals in the U.S. is a "civil issue" and that therefore her agency will not enforce certain immigration laws — but would respond when ensuring public safety and that those involved in a federal operation are "not going to get hurt."
Kirkpatrick made the remarks at a press conference marking the end of a 15-year consent decree between the city and federal government, after then-Mayor Mitch Landrieu invited the Obama Justice Department to probe the agency for alleged "pattern or practice" of civil rights-related misconduct.
During press questions, Kirkpatrick responded to one reporter by saying that to "be in the country undocumented is (a) civil issue."
"We will not enforce civil law, and so our support is to make sure they're not going to get hurt and our community is not in danger," Kirkpatrick said.
"Am I expecting them to come?" she said. "Yes, I'm expecting them to come. But can I tell you they're coming Friday? No, I can't tell you that."
"If they call for help because they say they're going to be hurt. We are going to be there in order to help anyone in danger. We are not enforcing — because we can't."
Kirkpatrick’s comments swiftly went viral on social media, with critics — largely from the right — lambasting her for claiming her agency cannot enforce certain immigration laws.

He looks mad....lol
DEI.
ROTFLMAO. Police Academy-Redux. Nawlins must have a hard time finding someone who wants to be their Poeleese Chief.
So, being ARMED in the country without documentation is also a “Civil” issue too, right Chimp? What a dork. Aren’t you ready for Walmart Greeter yet?
Why does it even still have a job after lack of preparedness ( inoperative protective barriers to protect street crowds from being rammed);led to the ISIS attack on New Orleans just 11 months ago

Breaking the law to come here isn’t a criminal issue?
Nailed it!
I just laugh every time I see a police chief or sheriff wearing multiple stars on their shoulders. Bitter old dyke.
It seems to be a trend among female chiefs to wear hats that are about three sizes too large, making them look not only comical but not quite right for the job of a cop at any rank.
She was dumped as chief by Oakland, CA, and resurfaced for some reason in New Orleans. It reminds one of how abusive priests were shopped around to new parishes after being outed.
You may remember her as the fool who forgot to deploy the bollards in the French
Quarter, allowing the islamo terrorist to plow his truck into the crowd of pedestrians.
She is a worthless piece of sheisse.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Federal funds provided to cities are a ‘federal’ issue, and the federal government will only release federal funds when the local law enforcement is pulling 100% in the same direction as federal law enforcement agencies.
