They have billions in appropriations, but they need volunteer help? Sounds like we need to DOGE them if they are this incompetent at doing the jobs they are getting paid six figures to do. |
And yet, they are! Will wonders never cease. |
Really? It sseems to me that there is a HUGE risk that your attempt to help will instead be characterized as impeding and then you're dead. |
Incompetent indeed. As the lady says, "you can't just shoot off a t---y." https://www.instagram.com/subhaha/reel/DTTKsCwiUt0/ |
Yes. You know maybe it would have been better to have a plan, and sort of train some guys, and then do it right. I think they need some of those mandatory trainings that other fed employees have to complete. We could teach them what an organizational structure is, maybe have some HR training on how not to shoot people when you get Big Mad. I'm pretty sure that if they can't do their job, they're supposed to be downsized. Isn't that how it works |
In Printz v. United States, the Supreme Court held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal justice who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/usrep/usrep521/usrep521898/usrep521898.pdf So Trump and ICE can just move along from their attempts to strong-arm states and cities into "compliance" |
Look, troll, it's simple. 1. Minneapolis has a “separation” or sanctuary-style ordinance that bars city employees, including police, from enforcing federal civil immigration law, from asking about immigration status, and from participating in federal immigration enforcement activities. Under city policy, MPD does not honor ICE detainers or routinely notify ICE when someone is released, except in limited situations tied to criminal investigations where immigration status is directly relevant. Federal agencies like ICE can still operate in Minneapolis independently — but local law enforcement isn’t permitted by city ordinance to proactively hand undocumented people over to ICE for civil immigration enforcement. So the police can't just "help" ICE do their job. 2. And if any wonders why the mayor can't cooperate with ICE (which would involve ignoring the city’s immigration-separation policy voted in by the city council), it's because the mayor cannot unilaterally suspend or ignore an ordinance. 3) Furthermore, under U.S. constitutional law (the anti-commandeering doctrine), the federal government cannot require state or local officials to enforce federal immigration law. 4) To change Minneapolis's policy, it would require: a) City Council action (repeal or amendment), or b) A state or federal law or court order that legally preempts the ordinance. That's the law. You believe in following laws, correct? |
They can help enforce it, or the federal agencies can show up to do so. That’s what’s happening now. |
