HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The debate over legislation aiming to restrict U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) actions in Connecticut is expected to resume Friday. The bill was approved in the state Senate earlier this month.

Discussion at the state Capitol stretched into Thursday night. There were hours of questioning from House Republicans and repeated attempts to amend portions of the bill.

Oh my, more of Democrats not wanting their slaves taken away. Who would have thought of this taking place in a Northern state, lol?

Not gonna happen:

The Supremacy Clause, found in Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties are the "supreme Law of the Land". It mandates that federal law takes precedence over conflicting state laws or constitutions, binding state judges to follow federal law over state legislation.

AI generated. But why would deep blue states know anything about the Constitution anyway.

Remove all ice machines and prohibit the sale of freezers and coolers. Let them drink warm beer and eat melted ice cream!

The constitution is meaningless to these Marxist bastards. Furthermore, they know their constituents don’t know their ass from their elbow, much less about a stinkin constitution.

During Obama era, the State of Arizona passed and dully signed the bill to use state resources to enforce immigration.
Basically catch, arrest and help to deport illegals.
Obama sued and won, basically getting judgment that immigration is federal issue and ONLY ICE and other federal officers can enforce immigration.
Now the liberal states are trying to tun it around!
Crazy!

They are pissing in the wind.

Federal Supremacy..................

Debate all you want. Shout at the wind. All worthless theater.

Somewhere I read a suggestion that President Trump should rename ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
so the leftist media and other unhinged democrats would constantly have to refer to them as NICE.

That’s an excellent idea.

It tells what side of the law they operate on.

Remember when Texas wanted to put a fence across the Rio Grande and were told by the courts that immigration was a FEDERAL issue and that they couldn’t interfere?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Unconstitutional before its even written.

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”
No where does it say “Connecticut”.

[Zathras]
