    nothing to do with LA situation.

    (2)

    affirms that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their Federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks; and

    (3)

    expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland.

    Is the “homeland” for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement restricted to Colorado only? I’m at a loss for how you can claim this is only about a specific incident in Colorado. This resolution states that state and local law enforcement sharing information with ICE is “the bedrock for public safety” and 75 House Dems agreed with that.

      /sigh

      Objectively true and aligns with Newsom and other’s critiques of why the LA situation is bad in the first place

      expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland.

      You can’t just cherry pick shit you dislike - this statement was part of a compound resolution EXCLUSIVELY about the Boulder terrorist attack, in which DHS and ICE were positive forces. That’s what all the “whereas” means, it means “in the context of”… stop intentionally misinterpreting things to be mad about it.

        Objectively false as demonstrated by all the unreported crimes against marginalized individuals in places where state and local law enforcement report detainees to ICE. Would you report a rape or assault against you if you knew police would lock you up and send you to a gulag in El Salvador because you don’t have the proper paperwork? Would you come forward as a witness to a crime under the same circumstances? Most people don’t which is the entire reason why “sanctuary cities” exist.

        What exactly did I cherry pick here? I quoted you directly with zero edits.

        this statement was part of a compound resolution EXCLUSIVELY about the Boulder terrorist attack, in which DHS and ICE were positive forces. That’s what all the “whereas” means, it means “in the context of”… stop intentionally misinterpreting things to be mad about it.

        The “whereas” is just outlining what happened and giving a pretext for this dystopian purity test. The resolution is absolutely not exclusively about what happened in Boulder as it references federal authorities and the nation as a whole. In what way are DHS and ICE retroactively “positive forces” in an attack that had already occurred with a suspect that is already in custody? This is nonsense.
