So they push to Abolish ICE, and Paul Ryan calls their bluff

Editor:  Could the Democrats make a bigger mess of things in their own party?  Several Senators have told Schumer to pound sand when it comes to the resistance and a Kavanaugh confirmation.  And now,  this opposition to ICE is going down in flames.  Me?  I think they are funny.  They don't even have an effective leader.

Daily Caller:    Three Democratic congressmen declared on Thursday that they will vote “no” on their own legislation if House Speaker Paul Ryan puts their bill on the floor.
Reps. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Adriano Espaillat of New York introduced the Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement Act earlier Thursday, which would abolish ICE within one year of enactment, and also assemble a commission  . . . .

By implication, the High Court said "yes" to the 287g partnership between the States and the Central Government by an 8 - 0 vote. Obama said "no" without any vote at all. Shazam !!!



Prior to the Obama Administration and its practice of selective lawlessness,  we had this description of the 287g program,  by ICE, itself :  

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the largest investigative agency in the Department of Homeland Security, enforces federal immigration laws as part of its homeland security mission. ICE works closely with federal, state and local law enforcement partners in this mission.

The 287(g) program, one of ICE’s top partnership initiatives, allows a state and local law enforcement entity to enter into a partnership with ICE, under a joint Memorandum of Agreement (MOA).  The state or local entity receives delegated authority for immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions.

As of mid-day, June 25,  the above description and the Federal/States  partnership it represents  -  since 1996 – is being taken down,  at least as it regards the State of Arizona.  We have this report in the Washington Times: 

The Obama administration said Monday [June 25]  it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police.    Administration officials, speaking on condition they not be named   [they are afraid of the very people they serve in the Obama Administration] , told reporters they expect to see an increase in the number of calls they get from Arizona police — but that won’t change President Obama’s decision to limit whom the government actually tries to detain and deport.    “We will not be issuing detainers on individuals unless they clearly meet our defined priorities,” one official said in a telephone briefing.

I have included the map, above,  to document the relative enormity of the the 287g program.  Today,  because of the malfeasance of the High Court and the anarchy of the Obama Administration,  Obama has decided to strike back at the State of Arizona,  to punish the state,  if you will,  for its opposition to the innate lawless of his 

As a sidebar,  that which seems to be hoot, in all this,  the arrogant opinion of Obama with regard to the approval of Section 2B by the High Court.  He disagrees with the Court's finding of constitutionality as regards this section of the Arizona law.  What proves Obama to be arrogant and ignorant as to the US Constitution,  is the fact that all presiding members of the Court including Sotomayor,  approve of the Arizona law at this point without exception.  There vote of approval was 8 - 0.    Understand that Section 2B provides for the partnership with the Federal government that Obama is now refusing to honor.   

Obama's new ICE appointment is an open-borders, sanctuary cities kind of guy. Incredible.

Widow of Houston Officer Killed by Illegal Immigrant 'Shocked' at ICE Appointment

Published June 25, 2010 - a FoxNews article

| FOXNews.com

The widow of a Houston police officer killed by an illegal immigrant was "shocked" to learn that the city's former police chief has landed a top immigration job with the Obama administration, her lawyer told FoxNews.com on Friday.

That's because Joslyn Johnson, whose husband, Rodney Johnson, was killed in 2006, is suing former Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt for failing to enforce federal immigration laws. She claims her husband would be alive today if the city had bothered to check up on the gunman's immigration status.

Now that Hurtt is taking a job to oversee partnerships between federal and local officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Johnson -- and other critics -- say they're concerned the official who resisted immigration enforcement in Houston will now be in charge of promoting it.

"She was shocked at the irony," Johnson's attorney, Ben Dominguez, said.

As a police chief, Hurtt was a supporter of "sanctuary city" policies, by which illegal immigrants who don't commit crimes can live without fear of exposure or detainment because police don't check for immigration papers. During his tenure as Houston police chief, he criticized ICE's key program that draws on local law enforcement's support. He said in 2008 that local police "don't want to be immigration officers." He described that as a burden on the force. READ MORE >>>>>
