If (a) such intentions exist, and (b) they materialize, and (c) they're directed at Southern California, then (d) they'll need body-armor and armored cars.
Far easier to issue a Federal warrant for the Governor of California and for every member of the California State Legislature that voted for Sanctuary status...
Charging them with conspiracy to obstruct justice and interfering with the enforcement of Federal immigration law.
The sight of the Governor, in handcuffs, being led into an awaiting van by US Marshals, would make for great comedy, and set just the right tone for the rest of the country...
And... the more LibTards that pisses-off, the merrier.
I keep reading and laughing at the posts like this. There is no way you can get a conviction based upon what is actually happening. They aren’t hiding the Illegals under their beds. They aren’t refusing to acknowledge a warrant. They are just refusing to ask about an immigration status, or calling ICE if they have any suspicion. They are handing the immigration problem, to the immigration authorities, the people charged by law to enforce the law.
Let’s say that we are neighbors. You are headed out of town and ask me to keep an eye on the house because your teenaged son and daughter are staying home. I tell you no. I am not going to keep an eye on your house. What happens at your house, with your kids, is none of my business. You can get angry. You can call me a terrible neighbor. But I am not responsible for what happens at your house, even if the aforementioned kids burn the place down while they are having a party with other teenagers.
That is what California and the other “sanctuary” cities and states are doing. They are taking the Don’t ask, don’t tell, approach to immigration law. I won’t ask, and if you are illegal, I won’t tell. There is NO law that can require California to enforce Immigration Law. The phrase Unfunded Mandate comes to mind.
Now, if we are two states, and you want your State to spend it’s resources to find these illegals, that’s your problem. It doesn’t mean that my State is required to do so.
But let’s pretend you trumped up some charges against the politicians. Good luck getting a conviction. Because the jury in that trial, is going to be made up of locals in California, and finding twelve of them who agree with you by randomly pulling names out of the hat so to speak, is impossible. At best you’ll get a hung jury, at worst, a finding of not guilty. Then what? How long before the Judges are just dismissing the charges because they know you won’t get a guilty verdict?
