So, all of that sanctuary City stuff was complete bullshit and Democrats just threw him back to the wolves after pumping him for political points?

Yeah maybe. But sanctuary city doesn't mean you can't be deported, it means local PD won't work with ICE on non-criminal deportations and you can do things like go to court, cooperate with an investigation, report crimes etc. It's not as good as advertised and not as "bad" as Republicans pretend.

"Sanctuary City" is just "immigration is a federal matter, so our municipal police will not do federal work."

For the next presidential primary, I hope the democratic candidates can keep their disagreements behind closed door and adopt an attitude of “anyone of us is better than the evil currently occupying the White House.”

That didn't work on 2024, but it stands a better chance going forward. The Democrats need to burn it down and start over. The old guard needs to go immediately. Newsom, Crockett, Pritzker, AOC, and a few others need to take the reigns.

Newsom is the "new guard"? I imagine you'll get mad at him over something and vote 3rd party again.

You filled in a lot of blanks for me there, but your assumptions were wrong. Now is not the time for purity tests. Need to rally around opposition leaders even if they are not perfect.

True. The well was poisoned. I haven't voted for a 3rd party candidate because they have all been fundamentalists IMO. Jill Stein is a joke and Libertarian bullshit is what our tech oligarchs treat as a religion.

Sanctuary laws don’t actually do very much. Partly because they don’t have any power over the federal government, and partly because those laws were designed (by democrats) to be weak.

I'm blaming Democrats for being completely useless in all of this, yes. You can simultaneously prosecute a thief and fire the security guard who was asleep on duty. I have no need for loyalty to a political party.

Cool. Why didn't you stand guard next to his door? It wasn't a secret they were coming for him. I think you're just stirring trouble, little troll. Within the law, there's not much a city can do, and positioning cops against ICE leaves the cops outgunned and the orange guy a justification to invade.

That’s not what sanctuary city means. Also, democrats can’t really do anything. Kilmar refused the plea deal. How are democrats supposed to intervene in an active immigration case when they don’t control anything?

Would you plead to human trafficking if you were innocent? This guy was given a lose-lose offer. I might have pled guilty to avoid Uganda, but I respect his decision.

No. And I’m not saying he should have. So calm down. I’m saying Dems can’t insert themselves into Kilmar and his lawyers negotiations. I don’t think Uganda was in play until he left the hearing. He and his lawyers have already filed to block deportation and demand due process this morning.

The Department of Homeland Security, Trump’s DHS, designated where he comes from a sanctuary city, they did not. Something to keep in mind when you consider these so called “sanctuary cities”.

Sanctuary city laws mean that local PD isn’t supposed to work with ICE. So yes they were bullshit, but they wouldn’t have stopped this anyways

Because they're getting paid six figure salaries by taxpayers (plus millions of lobbyist $) to be the last line of defense of our democracy, and failing miserably? Republicans keep doing things Democrats have told me were impossible and Democrats keep doing nothing saying they're powerless.

People in public office get paid to perform functions of that office. No one is getting paid to be the last line of defense of our democracy. Everyone elected to public office takes an oath to protect and defend our form of government, not just Democrats.
