Even as Trump’s enforcement of immigration law radically reduces the murder rate in Denver, we read this from Nashville:
The Nashville Community Review Board is urging residents to submit a formal complaint against any Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) officers seen cooperating with immigration enforcement efforts.
The obstruction of law enforcement — which itself is a crime — is so brazen as to be almost unbelievable. But see for yourself:
Here’s why Nashville moonbats are keen to hamstring ICE:
The request for residents to file complaints against MNPD officers cooperating with immigration enforcement efforts comes after an operation conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in conjunction with the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) in Nashville last week resulted in the arrests of 196 criminal illegal aliens, as previously reported by The Tennessee Star.
Democrats want foreigners like this running amok on our streets:
Among the aliens arrested during the operation were a 60-year old convicted rapist from Iraq, a 33-year old MS-13 gang member from El Salvador, drug traffickers from El Salvador and Haiti, and a 39-year old from Guatemala convicted of aggravated assault.
Of the 196 arrests seen during the operation, 95 were of aliens who had prior criminal convictions and pending criminal charges, and 31 were of aliens who reentered the U.S. illegally after previously being deported.
That gives an idea of what Democrats have been systematically replacing the American population with, via open borders combined with generous entitlement incentives, and why they are so certain the new population won’t vote Republican.
Don’t expect public safety from Chief of Police John Drake; he was appointed by previous Nashville Mayor John Cooper, a Democrat.
“Hear me when I say this, immigration status is irrelevant to what we do as a police department,” Drake said.
To wit, whether people break the law is irrelevant to what they do as a police department.
Speaking of lawbreakers,
In Tennessee, local governments are prohibited from adopting sanctuary policies as of a 2018 law. Earlier this year, Governor Bill Lee signed a bill strengthening the 2018 law by making it a Class E felony for local officials to vote in favor of or adopt sanctuary policies or practices.
As noted earlier,
No wonder Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell — another Democrat — demands advance knowledge of federal immigration enforcement operations. Astroturf mobs don’t just magically appear when an illegal alien criminal is arrested; they have to be deployed.
More than once, these mobs have featured Democrat officeholders assaulting ICE agents.
The USA will become increasingly ungovernable until both illegal immigration and obstruction of law enforcement are treated as serious crimes.
