As the debate over President Trump’s immigration policy and initiatives grows, so does his apparent determination to see his campaign promises put into action. The left, as expected, is in a fit of self-righteous rage over the efforts being made to curtail illegal immigration and remove illegals from the US, especially those who have committed crimes. However, also as expected, Mr. Trump is not backing down in the face of such resistance to the enforcement of the law, but is doubling-down.
The possibility of federal over-reach is a concern, especially in matters of law enforcement. Most crimes are of a local nature, and as such are the proper responsibility of state and local law enforcement. Injecting federal authorities into local matters is seldom a good idea no matter how it appealing it might be at the time. Hence, those who love liberty should be concerned when they see anything that appears to move towards the federalization of the state and local police.
All of this said, we are in anything but a normal environment. Cities and states are in active rebellion against established federal laws regarding immigration, and are harboring illegals in an effort to thwart their deportation. It’s an outrageous situation, so it comes as little surprise that the solution being implemented is somewhat unconventional. More on page two.
You are so brainwashed Terry Lynn Smith Siwinski. Trump is a megalomaniac surrounding himself with thugs and mouth pieces determined to lead our government into a fascist state. When the Federal Government attempts to mobilise local law enforcement they our attempting to install a backdoor state of emergency and war within our borders.
It’s about time we enforce our laws

This is concerning but the gov has been overbearing for decades is many areas that should be the domain of state or even more local governing bodies. Healthcare, education and land management just to name a few.
Simple case of enforcing our laws..Sad state of affairs when we have to resort to “special tatics” just to enforce exsisting federal laws..Time for some real leadership !! Thank you president Trump !!
