Agreed. I only think families should be split up when children are in danger because of their parents.
yes, if the parent is abusing or an active threat, by all means take action. What we need is judicial reform to speed up these processes, which would mean more judges in part.
All the sanctuary cities have to do is welcome then and Trump falls on his face. Instead, they scream no, validating Donald Trump.
In fairness, if it means thousands a week in a few cities that could be overwhelming. If you are that city, could you handle it? Going back to the idea that the sanctuary for many of these cities wasn’t a political statement or effort to get more illegal aliens but rather to effectively police their population and accept that there are a number of illegal aliens that are a part of their community. I got what TD is saying in that there is still a political tilt. And that for some cities that may be the only reason. But dumping thousands of illegal aliens on them is basically the federal government trying to punish the cities into federal cooperation that the cities think is an overreach and something they shouldn’t have to do. It wasn’t just about checking status of those that got arrested but also about round up and hold for ICE. Local authorities in some areas had problems with it and I get that. And I do think it made their job harder. And that wasn’t a Trump thing. It happened under W, it happened under Obama.
There is a very real legal question as well. An ICE detainer warrant does not necessarily require a probable cause basis. Cities that comply with ICE detainers are putting their cities at risk for constitutional violations and thus money damages.
That’s the best and most hilarious part - they don’t actually want them in their neighborhoods (unless temporarily, as gardeners, housekeepers and sitters), but they want them in yours, instead, whether you like or want it, or not.
