Santa Clara County supervisors voted yesterday to declare Santa Clara County an "ICE-free zone." San Francisco City and County may follow soon.

https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/immigration-ice-free-zone-santa-clara-21230986.php

"Santa Clara County supervisors on Tuesday passed an ordinance that will limit federal immigration officers from carrying out raids on municipal property — creating what was believed to be the Bay Area’s first official “ICE-free zone.”

The board voted unanimously to restrict federal immigration officials from using county-owned or controlled property — such as parking lots, vacant lots or garages — to stage enforcement operations.

The new law, which goes into effect immediately, won’t prevent immigration agents from making arrests if they have a judicial warrant or court order, but it could make it harder for agents to find a place to stage their operations."

"... Instead, the fish and game cops are being sent out to help Border Patrol grab up immigrants. Your tax dollars at work... "

DHS narrator: feral hogs, invasive fishes, brown "people", what's the diff?

I like her referring to the fact there was a "kidnapping" in process and that she was humble enough to say she shouldn't be the focus it should be the families who are suffering far worse.

They were taken to the ‘box’ and punished just for trying to help me.

Gee, when Japanese soldiers did that to POWs, that was considered a war crime.

Kristi Noem. That she was considered a rising star and presidential timber in the GOP should tell you just how far into the sewer Lincoln's party has fallen.

I’ve got some Latino contractors working on a major bathroom renovation. This is the second day in a row they can’t leave their house because of T.rump’s Gestapo.

"the mother of White House Lie Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, must be deported because she’s a “criminal” — based, apparently, on a summons (no arrest, no charges) to juvenile court when she got into a fight with another girl when she was 16."

I don't care about the details of this story, but I do presume that this means Stephen Miller's brown shirts have been so terrible at their job and their actual apprehension and deportation numbers are so small they are down to asking anyone at the White House (Coming Soon: the most gold gaming room ever with the loosest slots in the greater Virginia/Maryland Areas!) "Hey, do you have a close family member you can snitch on?"

Mmm, this was using the aparatus of state to target the spouse of a relative, who was in a custody dispute with the mother of his child. Much, much worse, in my opinion.

FOTUS must be nervous-

The October Jobs report- CANCELLED

The October inflation report- CANCELLED

The advanced estimate of 3rd quarter GDP- CANCELLED

One would think if the economy and jobs numbers were good, he would be showing the numbers and broadcasting them from the highest mountain.

Like Covid, if you stop testing, the numbers go down.

Except the opposite of that.

If the numbers were good, he'd bind those reports in a golden cover and sell them on his website.

This does not play well with global investment managers, who have to choose where to park the money they're responsible for managing.

That money parked here is why we've been able to run huge deficits without caring about it.

meanwhile, the people who profit off that play up the national debt to people who don’t realize that at this scale, an economy can use that debt as an asset

I have noticed news reports (in my local papers) have begun framing the birthright citizenship question as one where US policy is "uncommon" and that only 30 other countries have it. So Magamurkkkan exceptionalism only matters for ... let's see, farming? nope, tech, nope.... weapons? Sweden sez FU, so nope. I guess we are not that exceptional. Common clay, even. (someone else can say it.)

I thought a judge told them to shut down the Everglades gulag, because it's in a wildlife refuge and of course they did no environmental review. Besides the fact that it's subject to flooding/hurricanes and any kind of rapid evacuation from the site would be very difficult.

I'm increasingly convinced that the real Kristi Noem was abducted early in her political career by an evil doll maker who created and cursed a wax replica of her and, now that its evil is reaching its apex, is starting to melt

I know "working through the system" sounds nice, but the Manchurian Cantaloupe's goons speak the language of "law and order" while living nothing of the kind.

There's only one language these ICE thugs understand -- and we're going to have to start speaking it. I DO want them to have to balance their racism and zeal for instigation against the desire to make it back home and see little Jayden and Brayden and MacKayleigh again.

Are the "y"s consonants, or vowels? Or sometimes one, the other, or both? The Welsh seem to love Ys. And Ls.
