Point taken, I’m talking about stuff outside the specific scope of this topic. I apologize for the confusion.

No need. Threads wander, it just happened that in this case it led to some confusion.

Immigration laws in general are not being enforced in those cities. Hence, no letter of the law is being enforced at all. That said, I acknowledge that I’m no longer talking about the topic at hand, and will drop the discussion.ProdglArchitect:

Yep. Kamala Harris who’s background is as a prosecutor and state AG before becoming a US senator put it this way:
“You can look at this attorney general who has said that imposing the terms of the Voting Rights Act on the states creates an undo burden and is meddling with the affairs of each state. So it’s hypocrisy at it’s height,” Harris said.
Historically, it was Democrats who abused the 10th amendment in order to maintain segregation, but that said, no state official is required to enforce federal laws, under posse comitatus laws, as I recall.
That’s is not what the Oakland mayor did, however. She aided and abetted criminals in avoiding law enforcement.
And if California allows foreign nationals to vote in federal elections, that is a serious violation of federal law.

I suspect that federal authorities in these cities are enforcing pertinent federal laws. And that state and local authorizes are enforcing state and local laws. What evidence can you produce to the contrary?
Or, in the case of Oakland, openly acting to aid and abet criminals evading the law.ProdglArchitect:

That is a serious charge. Is that being made by any competent official?
The AG says it is being investigated, but she essentially admitted it. But this is easy:

So this is your legal opinion, FWIW. The mayor consulted with counsel before tweeting, and the legal matter is not as black and white as you think. We’ll see how this “review” plays out.
Oakland Mayor to Jeff Sessions: ‘How dare you vilify members of our community’
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf responds to accusations from Attorney General Jeff Sessions that she helped undocumented immigrants avoid arrest.

BTW if ICE were actually focusing on “public safety threats” rather that administrative arrests, they likely would have all of the cooperation in the world.
ICE arrests of ‘noncriminal’ immigrants double under Trump
A week after he won the election, President Donald Trump promised that his administration would round up millions of immigrant gang members and drug dealers. And after he took office, arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers…

Offenses by undocumented aliens can be especially severe.
For example:
Why should illegals be given special consideration?

I didn’t say my was a legal opinion, just my opinion. I agree with Sessions, she intentionally put Americans at risk. She’s an absolute scoundrel.
No they wouldn’t, not from people who favor unfettered open borders like this mayor does.
She doesn’t have to cooperate. She just needs to not interfere. If one of these criminals commits another crime, she should be help accountable.
Because they are part of a greater political movement, to undermine American sovereignty

I didn’t see that anything in her remarks about unfettered open borders, but a problem with ICE’s new focus on administrative arrests.

So, you’re okay with her intentionally undermining federal law? I see her as no different than George Wallace blocking the school doorJonNC:

I am okay with waiting to see if her actions constituted a violation of the law.
Fascinating.

In a statement released Tuesday, the agency’s San Francisco field office cited several offenders, including two Sureños gang members, one of whom was arrested in Sacramento.
ICE says that person has convictions for spousal abuse, felony possession of a firearm, threatening with intent to terrorize, and several others.
Also in Sacramento, a Guatemalan citizen with a conviction for false imprisonment was arrested.
ICE arrested one person in Bay Point who it says has been deported eight times.
Agents also arrested a Honduran citizen who has multiple arrests for cocaine trafficking and one arrest for sex with a minor.
The agency called out Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf’s for warning citizens of ICE operations last week. The agency’s Deputy Director, Thomas D. Homan, accused the mayor of putting officers in danger. In response, Schaaf defended her decision.
