It's probably safe to say 1) nobody noticed, and 2) they had no impact on anything. IT's far more probable than the weather and the phase of the moon were more impactful.

All it basically means is that their local police are not allowed to report suspected undocumented people to ICE or to hold people in local jails for ICE pickup only. ICE has to do their own work.
aka selective law enforcement. Enforce only laws you personally like, and disregard the rest. Local law enforcement there should more properly be called "local enforcement of some laws only, subject to political wind shifts at any time".
No. Go get a refresher on civics.
Selective enforcement of only those federal laws you like is not a civic value.

Riots, unlawful assembly (Minneapolis police chief description), and crowd control are state/local issues. Minnesota LEOs are not doing their jobs.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Can someone please explain the legal foundations upon which cities can claim to be sanctuaries and upon which people who are here illegally are immune from deportation?

That's not what it means. It means local
Government won't participate in immigration enforcement. The legal foundation is the Constitution, which reserves immigration, naturalization, and citizenship as a federal power.
Conservatives used to care about federalism. States rights and all that. Not sure where happened there.

Recent Conservative boycotts:
- Bud Light — Transgender influencer promotion (Dylan Mulvaney campaign); led to major sales drop and ongoing boycott.
- Target — Pride Month merchandise (tuck-friendly swimsuits, items tied to controversial designers); widespread protests and sales impact.
- John Deere — DEI policies and LGBT support; prompted policy reversals after pressure.
- Harley-Davidson — DEI and LGBT initiatives; led to company scaling back programs.
- Lowe's — Pride events and DEI; resulted in policy changes.
- Tractor Supply Co. — DEI and LGBT support; company dropped programs after rapid backlash.
- Disney — LGBTQ+ content and opposition to certain policies (e.g., "don't say gay" bill); long-running calls to boycott parks and products.
- Starbucks — DEI programs and related controversies; faced calls and some policy shifts.
- NFL — Player protests (e.g., kneeling during anthem); jersey burnings and viewership boycotts.
- Keurig — Pulled ads from conservative shows (e.g., Sean Hannity); led to product-smashing protests.
- Ford — Ads in publications supporting same-sex marriage; multi-group boycott.
- Nike — Support for Colin Kaepernick; recurring conservative backlash.
Don't forget Cracker Barrel -- They changed their logo

I already practice a minimalist, anti materialistic lifestyle and have done so for years. Highly recommend.

Local police are needed to separate the unhinged and poorly trained ICE officers from the unruly protesters or else more citizens will be killed.

I forgot to add that Minnesota state prisons routinely release inmates to ICE custody after serving their sentences. And a jail had called ICE because an inmate with a detainer had posted bond, but ICE said they were too busy in Mpls to pick him up; the jail provided the address they had for the guy.
