The City of Glendale in Los Angeles County said in a statement on Sunday that the decision to end the agreement DHS and ICE was “not made lightly.”

    The agreement allowed detainees to be housed at the Glendale Police Department facility, which provided access to virtual and in-person visitation.

    City leaders acknowledged the change could make family visits more difficult, and warned that access to legal representation might be more limited at other facilities.

    “Nevertheless, despite the transparency and safeguards the city has upheld, the city recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract—no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good—has become divisive,” the city said in a press release.

      Yes I would say it’s quite “divisive” to allow jackbooted thugs wearing face covers to arrest our friends, family, and neighbors with impunity because their bigot leader has them all whipped up into a frenzy. So glad they figured this out lmao

    ICE and their various fed retainers will still waltz into these neighborhoods without consequence. All it means is that they can’t count on local cooperation.

  • I have nothing of conversational value to add, but would like to state for the record that Stephen Miller can suck the shit right out of my asshole. In fact, I’ll make a Taco Bell run in advance just to be sure it’s worth your while.

    Newsom and all Democratic governors should immediately start requiring all National Guard troops to attend classes or seminars on their legal rights and what to do when given an illegal order.
