Let the deportations begin?

At least to date, sanctuary status has been similar to land acknowledgment statements or those “in this house” signs. Pretty much a cost free risk free gesture. It will be interesting to see if anyone takes it farther than that.

Considering Missouri's Sanctuary 2A state went to the court and lost on a technicality, I expect the sanctuary city thing will fair no better.

Our local news predicted round ups last week including Trump's notorious Aurora and the sanctuary city of Denver. Other than a few of the usual normal drug busts of illegals, so far it's been pretty much a nothing burger.

The St. Louis sub-reddit was ablaze because ICE showed up at a Mexican restaurant and hauled off one person.

Protests took place downtown about, apparently, immigration tactics since that is what all signs I viewed (via photo) were about.

So far just another day in St. Louis, protestors protesting things many Americans agree with.

So were the protesters not citizens of the Unites States? If so, doesn't seem like a good idea to have illegal immigrants protest all in one place and be easy for ICE.

There was apparently a protest in Dallas with many illegals. It would have been like fishing in a barrel.

I assume most of them are citizens.

here is a pointless protest. Los Angeles freeway was blocked on both sides by protesters waving Mexican and other South American flags. Trying to drive through LA on a good day is very busy. So blocking a freeway anywhere blocks workers going to work, medical and emergency services, people with small children and everyday citizens just living their life. Stupid and dangerous. And it takes law enforcement away from doing more useful things with their time.

how in the world will this be seen as favorable to their cause? It only leads to more anti immigrant sentiment and more support for Trumps policies.

That goes for anyone with the stupid idea to protest by blocking roads. I always say it’s too bad it’s illegal to run over people blocking the road. They certainly are effing clueless blocking the road.

For a few years I have been watching Cash Jordan’s New York City videoa. He is a rental agent who takes viewers on tours of NYC apartments and their neighborhoods.

In the past few days he pivoted to making videos narrating ICE actions in the Sanctuary City of New York. ICE picking up criminals. The illegal immigrant criminal gangs in NYC are a big problem on the streets, in shelters, with businesses. They intimidate other immigrants. They steal. They use enormous amounts of police resources, already in shortages.

I am actually shocked Cash and his fellow New Yorkers are enthusiastic about what is happening there with the deportations. They are praising Trump policies. His videos which normally get a few hundred thousand views are getting views into the millions for his deportation videos. He is providing very good “man on the ground” scenes of reality in this turbulent time.

sample videos from Cash on NYC deportations:

IL, I watched a few minutes of each video. The guy probably has a point, although I don't think the situation is as obvious as he presents. At least from my perspective from the news of Denver's sanctuary status, he is misleading. Sanctuary status doesn't protect criminals or avoid their arrests for crimes or hide them. They get some housing and food. They are protected from ICE in schools, churches, and maybe hospitals. From our news, local authorities actually work together with ICE and DEA to round up violent criminals, gang members, and drug dealers. They don't assist ICE with deportation proceedings that are a part of federal law. They notify ICE when an illegal person arrested for crimes is set to be released. I would think of the failure of the control of NYC crime as a fault of local police.

More power to ICE and any other help they get for cleaning up the NYC streets of gangs and crime. I don't understand the blame on sanctuary cities. It's probably complicated and I may not know everything.

People make money from uTube once they get enough views to monetize. It's probably a temptation for some.
