Constitutionally, I think Denver took the high ground. Certainly over the last few weeks the question of rights versus public safety has been hotly debated.
The sheriff’s department said the city will always enforce a warrant or order signed by a federal judge or magistrate. ICE said getting that warrant signed is no easy task.
“One of the issues is we detain somewhere around 34,000 to 40,000 people per day," Rusnok said. "We place detainers on thousands and thousands of people.
"Getting federal warrants for each one of those individuals would be extremely time consuming and it’s something we don’t have the resources for.”
Getting these warrants should take president over building the wall and making political battles over the legal status of holding these folks. Until that happens why isn't the federal government with all its spending not holding these people themselves instead of turning their problem over to the whim of communities?
