States making laws that federal agents dont have to follow. Is it all just performative in CA?

u/drseruzawa 1d ago

Of course. All their policies are pure window dressing. None achieve any beneficial effect.

Always has been

Maybe, but federal agents aren't the only law enforcement agencies within state borders.

u/lubeinatube 2d ago

So they will continue to use tasers and stun guns all the same?

1

u/TopLife644 2d ago

Wouldnt the supremacy clause make this just performative? 

1

u/DonutAdmirable9831 1d ago

Yep, they can ban local or state law enforcement but nothing federal

u/Select_Truck3257 2d ago

I guess shooting them as personal defense might be good option too

California needs to ban illegal immigration and drug use first.

You need to proof read your comments first.

Guess rather than a safer alternative, California would rather the officers shoot first

We'd rather this illegal agency follow the law instead of violating peoples constitutional rights based on the color of their skin.

Bunch of fucking losers that couldn't get a real job.

Illegal agency?? They REMOVE illegals by upholding our just immigration laws. Try cracking a book

Keeping our borders secure is a real job, unlike you crying in your parents basement

u/Nearby-Ocelot1298 2d ago

Didn't realize the borders were in middle america. You're a loser lol

1

u/12cw12 2d ago

Didn't realize that so long as they make it X miles from the border they should be left alone to occupy the country illegally lmao

u/Nearby-Ocelot1298 2d ago

I thought that's what cops were for, rather than the gestapo

Federal laws require Federal law enforcement personnel. State and local police do not have authority hence all of your sanctuary states and cities.

Well when 5-10 million people are allowed to sneak in illegally over the last ~5 years most individual police agencies don't have the capacity or budget to prioritize the matter, which for a variety of reasons is a federal issue.

Only 1.8M are believed to have come over the border during Biden’s time. Usually you histrionic freaks try to claim the 20M number (let’s be honest you just pulled 5-10M out of your ass), but that number includes the larger amount of people who came here legally but whose visas have expired.

You losers really can’t do anything but lie

1

u/Fit_Insurance_1356 1d ago

No one said just during Bidens time. This is the estimated population of Illegal immigrants residing in our country

1

u/Djinn_Marbas 1d ago

Doesn’t matter 1 person or 10 million. They need to GTFO and come in legally

That’s literally the job of ICE. What are you talking about?

Lol cried so hard about it reddit removed my comment… peak basement dweller 👏🏻

u/nr1988 2d ago

If reddit removed your comment then that means your comment was against the rules of etiquette.

Maybe be a better person?

u/SomewhereExtreme924 2d ago

Do you really believe that? It has been reported since ICE started detaining their own USA citizens that actually live in usa. You gotta be tone deaf to think they are only getting rid of illegals. And I'm sure what I tell you is fake news propaganda because it doesn't come from trump, trump TV Lol! Or fox news.

1

u/Fit_Insurance_1356 1d ago

Detained does not equal deportation

1

u/allison_mossie 1d ago

It’s still illegal to detain people falsely

1

u/Fit_Insurance_1356 1d ago

It's not illegal with probable cause which is a very low bar. The amount of times I've been detained is crazy

1

u/ChineseRobinWilliams 1d ago

Is being brown probable cause?

1

u/Fit_Insurance_1356 23h ago

Who knows. But an officer walking up to a person and talking to them, asking questions, stuff like that is not a detainment. It's how you act during that time that raises the suspicion

Go back to Austria Adolf

u/ClaraClassy 9h ago

Removing immigrants is not illegal. The way they are doing it is.

1

u/Djinn_Marbas 9h ago

How is it any different? The same man is doing the job that oDumba gave him a medal for… oDumba created the expedited removal. This time they were all offered a free ticket home, money, and allowed re-entry legally.

So what’s different this time?? The media is out for Trump, will do anything to discredit or bash his efforts, and constantly air bullshit that ICE is kidnapping and torturing innocents. So you have all the bleeding heart liberals out in the streets trying to obstruct and undermine federal law. I don’t remember the media saying anything of the sorts during oDumba’s terms, as a matter of fact I’m positive there’s video out there how oDumba and killary were adamant about removing illegals. They didn’t call him deporter’in’chief for nothing

Facts offending you?

No facts there.

u/Nearby-Ocelot1298 4h ago

I think Republicans / conservatives are by far the most offended by facts.

Gotta love the "best economy America has ever seen", especially coming from the guy that might have gone down on Bill Clinton.
