West #Michigan counties refute sanctuary jurisdictions list

Excerpt:
"News 8 reached out to DHS to learn what exactly led them to consider #KalamazooCounty as a '#SanctuaryJurisdiction.”

"While a spokesperson did not provide specific reasons, they shared what some of the conditions could be.

" 'Designation of a sanctuary jurisdiction is based on the evaluation of numerous factors, including self-identification as a sanctuary jurisdiction, noncompliance with Federal law enforcement in enforcing immigration laws, restrictions on information sharing, and legal protections for illegal aliens,' the spokesperson said.

They added that the list will be regularly reviewed, updated and can change at any time." (!!!)

Some #Colorado counties say they were shocked to be labeled '#SanctuaryJurisdictions’

COLORADO, USA — "Local leaders across Colorado are pushing back after the Trump administration published a list labeling dozens of cities and counties as 'sanctuary jurisdictions.'

"The list, released earlier this week by the Department of Homeland Security, included 41 counties and 15 cities in Colorado.

"Among them were communities where leaders have publicly supported President Trump’s immigration policies. Since its release, at least three jurisdictions — Weld County, El Paso County, and the city of Aurora — have successfully lobbied for removal from the list.

" 'There was definitely a mistake made,' Otero County Commissioner Tim Knabenshue said. 'Constituents started calling us and saying, ‘What’s going on? We thought we weren’t a sanctuary county'.'

"The list, titled Sanctuary Jurisdictions Defying Federal Immigration Law, does not have a consistent or legally recognized definition for what constitutes a sanctuary jurisdiction. It is generally associated with local policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Under an executive order signed by President Trump, jurisdictions identified as non-compliant could face cuts to federal funding."

"The sanctuary jurisdictions are listed below. These cities, counties, and states have laws, ordinances, regulations, resolutions, policies, or other practices that obstruct immigration enforcement and shield criminals from ICE — either by refusing to or prohibiting agencies from complying with ICE detainers, imposing unreasonable conditions on detainer acceptance, denying ICE access to interview incarcerated aliens, or otherwise impeding communication or information exchanges between their personnel and federal immigration officers.

"A detainer is the primary tool used by ICE to gain custody of criminal aliens for deportation. It is a notice to another law enforcement agency that ICE intends to assume custody of an alien and includes information on the alien's previous criminal history, immigration violations, and potential threat to public safety or security."

#LawFirms, #universities and now #CivilSociety groups are in #Trump’s sights for #punitive action

WASHINGTON (AP) — "First the nation’s top law firms. Then its premier universities. Now, President Donald Trump is leaning on the #advocacy groups that underpin U.S. civil society.

"Trump said Thursday that the administration is looking at the tax-exempt status not just of Harvard, but environmental groups and specifically the ethics watchdog organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or #CREW. It could be a devastating financial blow to the #nonprofit organizations — and his perceived #PoliticalFoes.

"The president’s remarks, during an event at the White House, began to confirm what advocacy groups have been quietly warning: Trump’s campaign of retribution is coming next for them.

" 'It’s supposed to be a charitable organization,' Trump said about CREW, in particular. 'The only charity they had is going after Donald Trump. So we’re looking at that. We’re looking at a lot of things.' "

Those of us like me who grew up in the #NewYork area knew #Trump was a fucking sleazebag in the 1980s

But the #justice system let him slide time and again, eyes glazed over

#Punitive force feeds the #crime you intend to stop- for low grade #crimes by the #poor (that #bigotry always demands heavy #punishment for)

But #narcissism #amorality #plutocracy, plotting great #malice, persistently: utterly different

They are always obvious as hell for years, decades

They can be stopped early

Must be

"Psychiatric abuses were a prominent tool of repression in the Soviet Union, particularly in the 1970s and the 1980s. It is estimated that approximately one-third of political prisoners in Russia were confined to psychiatric hospitals, leading to a significant rift within the World Psychiatric Association."
