Protecting Law Enforcement Personnel. One of the Department of Justice’s top priorities is protecting law enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels who protect us all. This includes aggressively investigating the all-too-common instances of violence against and obstruction of law enforcement, seeking the death penalty for those who perpetrate capital crimes against law enforcement, and backing and promoting the efforts of law enforcement when they are subjected to unfair criticism or attack.
Fuck da police, I guess
This will be used by sheriffs widely.
Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing, and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands and requests. The U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and other litigating components of the Department shall investigate incidents involving any such misconduct for potential prosecution, including for obstructing federal functions in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, and violations of other statutes, such as 8 U.S.C. §§ 1324, 1373.
This is how they’re intending to respond to state and local authorities who, in compliance with their state law, refuse to assist ICE. This is setting the stage for federal vs state.
They never gave one fucking shit about “states rights.”
Only states’ rights to own slaves.
you’re not wrong but i feel like we’re dumbing it down to keep making it about race and slavery. this is just hierarchy. they want hierarchy because they’re already the ones in control. they want to reinforce that control and they will use it against anyone, regardless of race.
this is about the owners vs. the people. we will need a lot of support to fight this monster.
Trump is attacking prosecutors and FBI agents.
Is the DOJ going after him?
The hypocrisy that goes into all their messaging is just wild. 1. Kill capital police you are a political prisoner. 2. Your property gets raided by the FBI while your not even present (because your own lawyers negotiated the date/time) and you fuel the narrative they were trying to assassinate you.
And not to mention all the judges and clerks and courthouse staff he has put at risk and still somehow gets this “tough on crime pro police” messaging in the media without even an asterisk.
Both sides, amiright fellow citizens of the nation just north of the gulf of America?
While conservatives are obviously worse than liberals in just about every way, I don’t think rejecting the “both sides” argument in such a general way is a legitimate argument either.
It takes two to tango, and the Democratic party obviously deserves some of the criticism for the current state we find ourselves in. Mainly in their passivity in response to the rise of fascism in the conservative party.
