During his campaign, Trump said he would cancel all federal funding to so-called “sanctuary cities.” On Saturday, Hodges pledged to ignore President Trump when he takes office. According to Hodges, she will see to it that Minneapolis law enforcement officers will not assist federal agents in tracking down illegal aliens.
Hodges released a statement Saturday titled “Support for Immigrant Community Keeps Minneapolis Safer”:
“I will continue to stand by immigrants in Minneapolis. For years, Minneapolis has codified in ordinance that our police officers will not do the work of the Federal government and ICE regarding immigration status. If police officers were to do the work of ICE it would harm our ability to keep people safe and solve crimes. Witnesses and victims of crimes won’t come forward if they think our police officers will question or detain them about their immigration status. Our ordinance has helped us solve crime and keep communities safer. If our police were doing the work of ICE, Minneapolis would be less safe for everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Yes, but not if each is fined personally and jailed.
That's right !!
Yep.
The People’s Republic of Minneapolis never fails to disappoint.
I’m still waiting for the first Sanctuary City for people refusing to pay the IRS....
She must think she’s playing with your average Republican wimp. Trump’s not going to put up with this arrogant, anti-American, illegal nonsense. I hope Trump wasn’t too busy with his transition team to hear about this story. Minneapolis should be the first sanctuary city defunded. And I hope he wastes no time in getting started on this.
And Minneapolis will try to make do without federal dollars. Good luck with that.
I’m curious what the rank and file cops that patrol Minneapolis think of the mayor wanting to protect all those somali savages.
Oh we have a volunteer for first idiot mayor to take on Trump! Odds aren’t favorable to his challengers.
No problem. Just hold the Mayor criminal liable for any crimes committed by any illegal aliens they release from jail.
well there goes your federal money, plus the new DOJ now coming after your city. So does the mayor want the taxpayers to pay for all of this, the schools and roads to suffer , in order to protect illegal people?
They will defy Trump at their own peril ...
I guess she wants to make Minneapolis Mogadishu again.
I can’t wait for this LIB-idiot mayor to be humiliated. Bwahaaaaaaahahaha.
Oh, she wants jail. Well we can do that, too.
If I was the prosecutor, I would also be looking seriously at human trafficking laws (that is, aiding & abetting or conspiracy). It’s my understanding that those laws can be quite harsh.
Yes. The situation is very familiar , but reversed.
No, but he can give her office a serious hot-foot.
Yup. And then go after all sanctuary cities here in The People's Republik of Connecticut next!
