The real question is whether cops are willing to enforce this — in most places they’ve refused to arrest ICE or Border Patrol for on-duty actions except in cases of nepotism.
They’ll just say the city doesn’t have authority and that it’s unenforceable.
Too bad they cant make a law against murder
Per the local government’s ordinance summary, this is a criminal ordinance and it’s effective 30 days after passage, signature by mayor and publication in the City’s newspaper. So soonest will be late March.
I agree the question is whether the cops will enforce, but regardless, it should be done. And it gives a clear tool to local leaders to (hopefully, finally) flip the switch and start testing Constitutional boundaries by arresting ICE for criminal acts, since whatever Stephen Miller says, ICE does not have “absolute immunity” to break the law, much less violate the Constitution.
I just hope DHS isn’t willing to break any laws. /j
The big question isn’t whether they’ll break the law: it’s whether they’ve alienated the local police enough that they’ll do something besides look the other way.
If the Minneapolis local authorities can’t get access to investigate ICE murder scenes I’m not optimistic that St. Paul cops will get much traction getting individual storm troupers to remove masks or pay fines.
I’m picturing something like:
Watch another plague breakout just so they have an excuse to wear them again 😩 (not that the first one ever ended)
current plague is: ringworm
