As thousands are deported, San Diego County supervisors banned ICE from their firing range. “Providing training grounds for Trump’s deportation force is a slap in the face.”

[artichokegrower]

A solution would be to provide the border agents with short barreled 12 gauge shotguns.

I still have an old “U.S, out of OB” bumper sticker, that is Ocean Beach, a little beach community in San Diego.

Well, most of those buttheads need "...a slap in the face..."

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Love me some OB.
Hippies of my kind.

[rktman]

seems okay to me. Next time some disaster relief is needed......Not that I hold a grudge.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Just show up as a “citizen” for range time.

[ansel12]

A paradise, and home for a very long time.

OB has a great Burger Joint across from
The Black.
I’d Love to Walk the Pier today!

Ban Californians from using federal highways within the state.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

And, what happens when a specified group of citizens, say blacks, are “banned” from the ranges.
Or, trannies, or homosexuals?

Back the damn cake!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

If, God forbid, my wife would pass on tomorrow, I’d be on my way to OB after the interment.

Once upon a time San Diego was a very conservative city. Then in the late Sixties early Seventies the city’s population exploded with liberal newcomers from everywhere.

I saw what was coming and left in ‘77.

What if ICE agents show up at the firearm training facilities and start arresting Illegals and those who obstruct their arrest?

[Gen.Blather]

I’m curious. Does anyone know if such a ban would be enforceable? Who would enforce it? The local sheriff? What if the local sheriff says, “no?” In general government enforcers do not interfere with other law enforcement.

Can ICE use the Military base ranges just to P O the San Diego supervisors?

“ ’Providing training grounds for Trump’s deportation force is a slap in the face of our residents and undermines our clear commitment to rule of law and civil rights here in San Diego County,” Lawson-Remer said.”

“It’s the latest effort by supervisors to limit county coordination with federal immigration authorities. In January, San Diego County passed the Civil Liberties Enforcement and Accountability Rules , or CLEAR ordinance, to restrict federal immigration agents from accessing non-public county spaces. That law passed with support from Lawson-Remer, Aguirre, and fellow Democrat, Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe. The two Republican board members, Jim Desmond and Joel Anderson, opposed it.”

“ ‘I think the majority of this body has made it very clear through policy that its intent is for the county of San Diego to cease cooperation and partnership with Federal immigration enforcement agents,’ San Diego County Vice Chair Monica Montgomery Steppe said.”

Taken together, that all makes perfect sense.

I’m curious too. Does the San Diego Police Department or the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department get any Federal grants?

These yokels need to learn the chain-of-command. SERIOUSLY!

Confiscate all their cop stuff and see how they fare against the Feds.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

How much is Communist China paying them?
