LAPD chief joins movement to protect immigrants from Trump policies

Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell is standing by California’s leaders in defying President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportations.
This comes after Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Attorney General Rob Bonta have taken a defensive posture over the state’s immigrant population. Trump’s plan to deport would begin with criminally convicted illegal immigrants and then focus on immigrants who already have deportation orders. Still, Newsom and Bonta pledged to protect immigrants.
McDonnell told the Associated Press that his department does not enforce immigration laws according to Special Order 40, a department policy prohibiting action related to immigration status established in 1979. Instead, he is working with Mexican and Central American consulate offices to protect the immigrant population.
To follow through with Trump’s policies would be “undercutting our primary mission, which is to be able to build public trust to work with every member of all of our communities, to be able to have hope that people will come forward if they were a victim of crime, a witness to a crime,” according to McDonnell.

Guess a police chief can go to jail just as well as a mayor or maybe even a governor.

“Trump policies” = the law

I hope the guy does not like getting federal funds—that is an easy zero budget item for the next four years.

There is a difference (legally) between not helping and actively hindering. Active hinderance is a crime.
If they are passive, that’s their choice.
But they can be denied their federal dollars.
And, candidly, they should be the last jurisdictions to receive help. Just let the illegals flood their areas until they cry for help.

IOW he’s colluding with foreign governments against the United States federal government.
So, uh...where does Jim McDonnell get his authority to be a “police chief” in the Untied Estates of Ah-Mehr-eek-A?? From them or the Constitutional government of said States?

...especially for those of us who live in the Los Angeles county.
There are MANY conservatives who live here.
I'm a native Los Angeles citizen, 83 yrs old, and have seen the devastation of our city over the years.
May God give us strength as we fight off this evil.
Go TRUMP GO!!!!!!!

This is another example of why - in general - sheriffs are more to be trusted than police chiefs.
Sheriffs answer to the voters. On the other hand, police chiefs owe their jobs to their mayors. They are toadies. The mayor says “Jump.” The chief says “How high?”

He is illegally engaging in foreign policy, he should be prosecuted on January 21

Some police departments need to be defunded for putting illegal alien criminals ahead of Americans.

We’re going to see a lot of that kind of dissembling from the Left as they ramp up their PR machine against what the American people voted for.

Border Patrol agent should surround one California prison and jail at a time and then go in and remove all illegal aliens inmates and put them in federal custody until deported after their state sentences are up. State and local government should never be able to get in the way of immigration authorities without being arrested, charged, tried and jailed.

libtard asshats and jack-wagons out of the woodwork than President Donald Trump!
