Alarmed by shooting deaths and rapidly shifting public opinion, blue state governors want legal barriers to curb federal immigration operations.
ALBANY, New York — Democratic governors are racing to erect new legal barriers to President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation strategy, limiting the reach of federal immigration officials in their states.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed an order restricting how closely police can work with federal agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger on her first day in office rescinded her Republican predecessor’s executive order that encouraged such cooperation. And in Illinois, Gov. JB Pritzker called for a state oversight commission that he created to expand its investigation into immigration enforcement practices, with an additional focus on senior figures in the Trump administration.
On Friday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul became the latest to make an immigration-related move. She is seeking to end agreements that allow federal agencies like ICE to deputize local police officers for the purpose of carrying out civil deportations.
“We’re sending a strong message to ICE: You will not weaponize our police in the state of New York,” Hochul said.
Taken together, the efforts paint a picture of growing alarm among state-level Democratic executives after the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, by federal immigration officers roiled the nation. National polling found voters’ support for ICE’s actions and Trump’s aggressive deportation plans have sharply dropped while the president has signaled plans to pull back on efforts in Maine and Minnesota, where Pretti and Good were killed. A POLITICO poll this week found nearly half of Americans — 49 percent — believe Trump’s deportation effort is too aggressive.
The governors’ approach underscores how quickly the dynamic has shifted against Trump’s campaign promise to swiftly deport undocumented immigrants — an issue...

“We’re sending a strong message to ICE: You will not weaponize our police in the state of New York,” Hochul said.
She meant to say...
We’re sending a strong message to ICE: You will not DEPORT OUR VOTERS in the state of New York,” Hochul said.
Because all that matters to them are VOTES..ask them “Why do you have an issue with criminal aliens being deported” and watch them squirm..they see each person as a voter, and their children and their childrens children
Once was called the Confederate States.
🧐🤔
Oh wait, it’s against the law already!
Good luck, the only immigration power states have under the constitution is to support federal authorities in their enforcement duties.
. . . Trump’s deportation agenda.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is NOT Trump’s deportation AGENDA (despite how the enemedia might frame it)! It is the law. It is the VOTERS’ deportation agenda. We like it.
Dem Governors are garnering financial and voter support from illegals and cartels for money and votes it seems.
Seems like an oxymoron, right there in the headline.
You nailed it!
The Dem governors are not just fighting for voters, they are fighting for House of Representative seats, too. If House seats are determined by US Census counts, and illegal aliens are being counted in the US Census. Then, illegal aliens are propping up House seats for Democrats.
If Trump deports all their illegal aliens, the Democrats will lose seats in the House. Then their whole house of cards/ponzi scheme will come crashing down.
How many illegal immigrants are in the country where everyone on the left is getting all worked up by enforcing immigration laws? Sheesh? Is it really so many the Dem party would be destroyed? The Dems sure are acting like it. Haven’t we always been told its 10-15 million max? That’s nothing in a country our size. Why the push back?
Democrats don’t want illegal voters deported.
They can’t deny it. They push for voter laws that permit noncitizens to vote. Or easily vote illegally as well.
The Feds should refuse FBI and all fed law enforcement support to local and state agencies if they haven’t signed a coop agreement for all fed law enforcement agencies. No FBI lab services, no fingerprint, no DNA, no bomb squad, nothing without a signed agreement. No signed agreement ... just trash the request.
Gosh really?
The States can make immigration laws?
Funny. California was told no you can’t after we passed Prop. 187.
So now they think it’s cool?
Who knew
THAT is something that should have been done on day one.
The Party of Death and Destruction can’t afford to lose these illegal alien RAT voters. They need every one they can get.
“The States can make immigration laws?”
.
It’s THEI way of firing on Fort Sumter.
I’m sort of happy that all these Dims are putting this down in writing.
It will make the historians’ jobs easier.
Oops. Another recent poll claims the public is getting fed up with the anti-ICE protestors & insurgents. In fact, 57% of respondents think ICE agents should be allowed to do their job. Maybe do some research before posting your doomsday garbage.
