Trump's mass deportation

San Diego County is set to introduce 'radical' new sanctuary laws to avoid cooperation with ICE and other federal immigration authorities. The laws are seen as direct defiance toward Donald Trump and his border czar, Tom Homan, who has singled out San Diego for its massive illegal migrant problems amid plans of mass deportation. However, the San Diego sheriff on Tuesday defied a new policy to limit cooperation. San Diego County supervisors voted to prohibit its sheriff's department from working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the federal agency's enforcement of civil immigration laws, including those that allow for deportations.

Republicans shouldn't be fighting these folks who are so receptive to taking care of the undocumented aliens. The deportees should be given a choice: a ticket back to where they came from, or whatever country will take them, or a ticket to the California city of their choice. Other sanctuary cities such as Denver could also be on the list of available one-way tickets. This accomplishes multiple good things: there will be no need for a massive encampment in Texas, which will lead to endless comparisons to the Nazi's concentration camps, and eventually the sanctuary cities will agree to cooperate with the Federal government and actually help to organize a humane and generally agreeable method of getting these folks back home or wherever they want to go. This saves the Feds a lot of money, and the MSM will not dare to criticize the treatment the undocumented will receive in the sanctuary cities. Win-win all around.

Flood them. As I understand it, it can take time/resources to deport someone back to their homeland. But it takes almost nothing to put them on a bus and banish them to SD while they await their hearing. Flood the CA cities will all the people in the process of being deported.

FWIW: Shortly after, Sheriff Kelly Martinez said the board does not set set policy for the sheriff, who, like the supervisors, is an elected official. She said she wouldn't honor the new policy.

Don't take this as a done deal. I guarantee that this is going to create massive push back in San Diego. Maybe this kind of leftist excess was necessary to create the flashpoint for people to stand up and say "Enough!"

Fine. But under two conditions: 1. Said migrants must remain in San Diego County. 2. No federal funds shall be used or requested for care and housing of said migrants.

A couple of years ago in Tuscon, AZ, we had a personable black Uber driver who had moved his family from San Diego. He said they couldn't make it with both he and his wife working. California is becoming unlivable for the middle class.

San Diego County is very conservative. The City has an unfortunate habit of electing Pete Buttigiegs and Rachel Maddows.

Americans, our long national nightmare, the Biden presidency, is almost over. First, we must endure six more weeks of damage that President Joe Biden will inflict on the American people.Biden just gave Hunter, his son who was convicted on gun and tax evasion charges, an expansive 11-year pardon, after repeatedly promising he would not engage in such familial favoritism. Biden’s lies were so egregious that at a recent White House press briefing, CNN reporter MJ Lee asked a very pertinent question, “The next time that the president says he will or won’t do something, why should the American people believe him?”

December is here, the election has been over for a month, Trump has picked out his cabinet and California is still counting the votes. And will go on counting them until the Dems win. Considering Trump’s landslide victory, California had a difficult task ahead of it, but it has already managed to flip the seats held by Rep. Mike Garcia, Rep. Michelle Steel and just stole the seat held by Rep. John Duarte. In Duarte’s 13th congressional district, California Dems have taken a month to count a little over 210,000 votes. That’s an impressive achievement considering that the proverbial Florida Man seems able to count the votes on Election night.

Aides of President Joe Biden are debating whether the outgoing Democratic president should issue preemptive pardons for figures President-elect Donald Trump has named as his political enemies. Politico reported Wednesday that among those being discussed for blanket pardons are former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, Sen.-elect Adam Schiff and Dr. Anthony Fauci. Biden - who has been busy dealing with the fallout from his decision to pardon his son Hunter over gun and tax crimes - hasn't been brought into the discussions yet, the outlet said. White House officials fear that doling out pardons to people who haven't been charged with a crime could suggest impropriety.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor likened the side effects of transgender medical procedures on minors to that of taking an over-the-counter painkiller during Wednesday's oral arguments in the U.S. v. Skrmetti case. "Every medical treatment has a risk, even taking aspirin," Sotomayor said. "There's always going to be a percentage of the population under any medical treatment that's going to suffer a harm. So, the question in my mind is not, 'do policymakers decide whether one person's life is more valuable than the millions of others who get relief from this treatment?'"

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi said she has appealed to Rome for a decision concerning San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone’s ban on her receiving the Holy Eucharist due to her public support for abortion. [Snip] A 2004 memo to the U.S. bishops from then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, states that “consistently campaigning and voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws” requires denial of Communion. [Snip] Pelosi has regularly displayed a lack of basic understanding about the concept of sin.

President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes. It’s the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history. The commutations announced Thursday are for people who have served out home confinement sentences for at least one year after they were released. Prisons were uniquely bad for spreading the virus and some inmates were released in part to stop the spread. At one point, 1 in 5 prisoners had COVID-19, according to a tally kept by The Associated Press.

The commute home for thousands of New Yorkers became the thing of nightmares when they got stuck underground for hours after a power outage stranded two F trains — forcing them to evacuate through the subway tunnels and service exits. Approximately 3,500 straphangers spread between the two trains had to be rescued by firefighters when the power went out around 5:30 p.m. between the Jay Street/MetroTech and Hoyt-Schermerhorn stations, according to the MTA. The two F trains were in between stations and couldn’t move without the power, leaving commuters stuck without AC in the tunnel for more than two hours before FDNY personnel were able to get to them.
