9th Circus Court blocks Trump immigration rules for LAPD grant
2019-11-01
[SDUT] A federal appeals court says the Trump administration can't require Los Angeles police to cooperate with immigration agents in order to receive public safety grants.
"Give us the money, Lebowski!"
A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a lower court ruling rejecting efforts to impose immigration enforcement requirements for Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants.

The ruling is one of several that have blocked administration efforts to withhold money from sanctuary cities.

The administration sought to withhold the grant ‐ a major funding source ‐ unless the LAPD gave immigration agents access to city jails and advance notice of immigrants being released.

The city argued police shouldn't have to enforce civil immigration policy and that immigrants who feared deportation would be less likely to cooperate with police or report crimes.

#8  Sedition or Malfeasance:
Elements of Malfeasance

In determining whether a public official has committed malfeasance, the courts must consider whether certain elements have been fulfilled. While every circumstance is different, the following elements generally must be present:
1.The official has committed an affirmative act or omission – this means the official has physically taken action, or purposely decided not to act.
2.The act must have been performed in the individual’s official capacity.
3.The act interferes with the individual’s performance of his official duties, or with the official duties of another public official.

#7  Shouldn't the cops feel a sense of duty to report and share information anyway ? I'll bet the good cops do.

#6  Do these people who call themselves judges have even the faintest understanding of the concept of citizenship?

Nothing better shows how far off track, how stupid and surreal, is our political class's notion of governance than the idea that non-citizens who have broken our laws by illegal entry should be immune from prosecution.

"Sanctuary cities," "amnesty": f---ing Orwellian.

We're through the looking glass. The Queen of Hearts barking madly about execution first, sentence next, then trial.

Utter insanity. No other nation on this planet would even consider imposing such an obviously stupid, upside-down, self-destructive policy as this.

We are ruled by morons.

#3  So give California no federal money at all. Declare their forests to be national monuments, send in the logging crews to clear out the undergrowth.
