Border Czar Nominee Tom Homan: "Resistance" Governors and Mayors Who Block Deportation Efforts Will Be Prosecuted for Harboring Illegal Aliens
Homan sees this issue with the proper amount of nuance, which is nearly none at all.
President-elect Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, has issued a stark warning to sanctuary cities, stating their officials could face federal charges for obstructing immigration enforcement. The warning comes as Trump prepares to reinstate strict immigration policies and mass deportations. Key Details: Homan said federal law supersedes local sanctuary laws, and refusing to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could result in charges for obstruction and harboring illegal immigrants. Homan plans to work with the next Attorney General, likely Pam Bondi, to determine if sanctuary city policies violate federal law. Trump and Homan aim to prioritize deportations of individuals accused or convicted of crimes, with additional measures to cut federal funding for sanctuary jurisdictions. Diving Deeper: President-elect Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, has signaled a hardline approach to sanctuary cities, warning local officials they could face prosecution for defying federal immigration laws. Speaking to Just the News, Homan emphasized that impeding federal enforcement or knowingly harboring illegal immigrants could result in criminal charges. "Federal law trumps state and local law every time," Homan said, referring to sanctuary policies in cities like Los Angeles, which recently reaffirmed its status as a sanctuary city. He noted that refusing to transfer illegal immigrants in custody to ICE may constitute harboring, a violation of federal law. Homan plans to seek an official opinion from the next Attorney General--Pam Bondi is currently the nominee--on whether such refusals warrant legal action. He is also advocating for broader measures, such as withholding federal funds from jurisdictions that adopt sanctuary policies. "We've got to pull federal funding," Homan stated, arguing that sanctuary policies undermine public safety. He warned mayors and governors that failing to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement could jeopardize community safety and violate federal statutes. Homan also addressed broader concerns, including the Biden administration's handling of unaccompanied minors and the loss of track of 30,000 migrant children. He pledged to prioritize efforts to locate these children, acknowledging the challenges but vowing to combat human trafficking and forced labor. Looking ahead, Homan expressed hope that Mexico's government would cooperate in reinstating Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy, which requires asylum seekers to await processing south of the U.S. border. However, he warned, "If [Mexico's president] doesn't, then you know President Trump's one bad-ass president."This may be a bluff, a bit of saber-rattling. We already know the public rejected the lawfare against Trump. Now, if Trump begins using legal process against #Resistance figures (who are legitimately breaking the law), we'll see if the public is against all use of prosecutorial power to settle political disputes, or only plainly rancid and corrupt uses of the power, as we saw in the five Trump prosecutions. I think the public might just reject all attempts to prosecute political actors over political disputes, but we'll have to see. There is little question, though, that these Sanctuary jurisdictions should have federal monies stripped from them, as Homan suggests. The federal government is paying blue cities a lot of money supposedly for "law enforcement;" if they won't enforce the law, that money should stop. Obviously, the Biden tactic of using all federal funds (especially FEMA emergency funding) as a slush fund to send to blue cities to pay for illegals will end, immediately. If any of these Sanctuary zones want to continue giving illegals free health care and rent subsidies, they can steal that money from their own citizens/taxpayers for that purpose, and see if how their voters like it. It's always easier to tax someone far away to pay for something unpopular. Having to tax your own voters will be a heavier lift. And, of course, if these cities and states declare themselves Sanctuary zones, then we all know where all the remaining illegals must be sent. Meawhile, lefties and left-leaning corporate libertarians are warning Americans -- who have not seen much in wage gains for 40 years because of "outsourcing" most manufacturing to the third world while the US simultaneously imported a third-world workforce to do all the jobs in the US that couldn't be "outsourced" -- that the maids and gardeners they don't actually earn enough money to employ will now be more expensive.

Do it.
Arresting the governors who prefer illegals to their own citizens after an election where almost every blue enclave saw a hard shift to the right would be interesting.

Think about the economic impact of 50 million illegals. Housing, grocery inflation, auto insurance, theft and violent crime, and jobs are all impacted by this.
We a literally paying millions of Americans welfare, and meanwhile illegals can get free plane tickets, free housing, use our emergency rooms, and get $2,000 per month in food stamps while they take those jobs - and somehow this is good for the economy.

Its going to depend on who wins the publicity war to frame the efforts. If the left manages to convince people that its only Trump throwing a tantrum and looking for revenge by abusing power, then he's in trouble.
If the truth wins out, so that people perceive it as punishing abuse of power and making people pay the price for using the justice system to attack political enemies, then he'll be in good shape. The important thing is to never say its about vengeance or payback. Its not.

Well it has reared its head again now, watching clips of Homan vs clips of Harris.
So if you're gonna be serious, be serious. Prosecute if you must and don't let them stand in the way or they will steamroll you and the rest of this country out of sheer will.

The arguments that deporting these illegals will have negative financial implications is kindergarten level stupidity. Or more likely, just outright lying. The long term impacts of supporting tens of millions of illiterate masses far outweighs the price I may have to pay for a fucking head of lettuce for crying out loud.
And the bottom line is that I can choose to not buy that head of lettuce, but I will not have the choice to not pay the increased social costs of supporting - through my taxes - these tens of millions of indigents. If I have to support people in need, I prefer them to be Americans. For crying out loud again.

BTW, the New York Times is reporting to day that in their efforts to light up World War III before Trump takes office, the British and French are considering sending troops to Ukraine.
But wait! It gets better!
The Biden Administration is considering sending nukes to Ukraine.
Several officials even suggested that Mr. Biden could return nuclear weapons to Ukraine that were taken from it after the fall of the Soviet Union. That would be an instant and enormous deterrent. But such a step would be complicated and have serious implications.

Border Czar Nominee Tom Homan: "Resistance" Governors and Mayors Who Block Deportation Efforts Will Be Prosecuted for Harboring Illegal Aliens
Homan sees this issue with the proper amount of nuance, which is nearly none at all.
Speak softly. Carry a big stick. Don't be afraid to swing it.

There will be plenty of former federal employees to do those jobs. I expect to see Wray trimming my rose bushes, while Mayorkas sharpens the blades for him.

This argument that central americans are "doing jobs that American's won't do" is one of the most perplexing arguments I've ever heard.
Are you saying Ecuadorians are genetically predisposed to mowing lawns? Or that Americans are too lazy to mow lawns? Or both? And if we legalized those immigrations, would they still be mowing lawns, or would they try to find work in other sectors?
It's an insulting and nonsense argument.
Either way, I think it's a GOOD thing if the cost of domestic services go up. It should go up. That's how a healthy economy works. If the demand is high, the supply either increases, or the price increases. If we cut off the flow of supply (illegals), the price will equalize somewhere where being a landscaper is, once again, a career where people can live a normal life and not a life on welfare.

Several officials even suggested that Mr. Biden could return nuclear weapons to Ukraine that were taken from it after the fall of the Soviet Union. That would be an instant and enormous deterrent. But such a step would be complicated and have serious implications.
The only reason the ukraines gave up the Russian nukes that were on their soil was because they didn't have the arming codes.

Yes, the Denver mayor is an idiot, and iirc, spoiled rich kid. His own back yard is a disaster zone, so him being able to manage an entire city was never going to happen. He has been singularly focused on homelessness/illegals from the get-go. It’s all he cares about, the rest of the city could crumble and he would not notice.

The truth is, if you look at modern homes being built, they have a postage stamp-sized lawn if any to begin with. If you have to pay someone to mow your 12 square foot lawn, you're pretty pathetic.

Just to be clear, although there were Soviet nuclear weapons on Ukrainian soil when the Soviet Union collapsed, the Ukrainians never had the Soviet arming codes, so the nukes weren't usable.
Ukraine was never a nuclear power.
One assumes that with enough time and effort, the Ukes might have jury-rigged a way around the arming code devices, but that's not the same thing as saying that they had nukes when the USSR collapsed.

Because the other side of that ledger is more americans working (so fewer outlays for welfare) and fewer immigrants here (so fewer outlays on the immense spending we spend on illegals).
And to save billions in tax dollars, all we need to do is pay $.20 more per head of lettuce? Sounds like a great deal.

Lawn maintenance is going to get extremely expensive in California.
You're going to need an $80000 electric truck pulling a trailer full of electric landscaping tools using $16 hour minimum wage workers. Your workers are going to lured away by $20 hour minimum food service or $25 hour minimum medical jobs.
A lot of lawns are going to be weeds. Like mine.

Reports allege it was left by Obama during a visit to the White House.

I live in DuPage County, IL, next door to Cook County; I use Davey Tree Co exclusively for tree maintenance/shrub planting/cleanup and mulching etc.
The last few years basically a longboat crew from 'Thor' shows up. Big, strapping blondish giants, many with beards. I keep waiting for them to start sporting horns on their hard hats along with the face shields and ear muffs. One of these days Imma gonna put 'Immigrant Song' on the outside speakers and see how many sing along.
And, no lie, I DID hear one of the guys singing 'I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK' as he went about his tasks.
Just one counter to the 'only illegals do the outside work anymore' bilge.

If any of these Sanctuary zones want to continue giving illegals free health care and rent subsidies, they can steal that money from their own citizens/taxpayers for that purpose, and see if how their voters like it.
THIS x one million.
Stop the flow of money, and make thrm feel the pain.
Start deporting in red areas first, pushing the illegal criminals to sanctuary cities and states, to hasten their demise.

According to X What's his name, the Denver mayor, drove away from an airport with a rental car he had not duly paid for.
So? Then the Denver mayor got one thing right in his life. If I have a car reservation and the employees have abandoned the rental counter and the keys are sitting there, I'm taking my reserved car and dealing with it later, not wasting my time at the airport.
Careful about that. If it's a Hertz car you may get arrested for driving a stolen vehicle. Because a previous customer turned it in late and Hertz never told the cops they'd recovered it.

There is little question, though, that these Sanctuary jurisdictions should have federal monies stripped from them, as Homan suggests. The federal government is paying blue cities a lot of money supposedly for "law enforcement;" if they won't enforce the law, that money should stop.

100% true.
I have a co-worker who is a big liberal. She works part time, her husband has family money. They own a multi million dollar co-op in SoHo and a multi million dollar house in the Hamptons. They have two kids with stupid names.
They employ an army of domestic helpers. I don't know the immigration status of these people, but I do know that my co-worker has been sued 3 times for failing to pay people according to the law laws (mostly not paying overtime), and that she always bitches about how much she has to pay the help.
Which is just crazy to me. First off, you don't NEED 24/7 nanny coverage, a house keeper, a driver, and a chef. But if you ARE going to hire those people, yes, you should have to pay them appropriately.
But anyways, she's obviously a big fan of immigration.

I think it depends a lot where you live. If you live in the only places true humans actually live according to the left (California and NYC) you're going to have different expectations than someone living in South Dakota or Arkansas.
For the Californians, its always hispanic help (as someone else pointed out, it used to be Japanese). If you live in New York, its Puerto Rican etc.

Several officials even suggested that Mr. Biden could return nuclear weapons to Ukraine that were taken from it after the fall of the Soviet Union. That would be an instant and enormous deterrent. But such a step would be complicated and have serious implications.
It would be fitting for the greek notion of hubris if the Junta got a limited nuclear war started and President Trump assumed office with most of the population of NYC/DC gone directly due to Biden's warmongering.

It's hilarious how desperate they are--still--to spike that one line from the debate.
BTW, we should remind the left that, although Kamala lost the election, she did "win" the debate.

I don't understand the "grow a home garden" one.
Do people pay other people to plant and maintain the garden at their home? Like, tomatoes, herbs, etc? If it's like flowers, I'd assume that would fall under lawncare mentioned above.
For most people, growing a garden is a money loser compared to buying at Costco or whatever. It's a hobby, and a fun way to get outside, but no way is it cost effective.

We already know the public rejected the lawfare against Trump. Now, if Trump begins using legal process against #Resistance figures (who are legitimately breaking the law), we'll see if the public is against all use of prosecutorial power to settle political disputes, or only plainly rancid and corrupt uses of the power, as we saw in the five Trump prosecutions.
Unlike Trump, these sanctuary city/state clowns are committing actual felony violations of Federal law. I'll allow that there's no way the media tells anyone that distinction, but it is a true thing.

My son cleans the house, including the bathrooms. That is why I pay him an allowance. At his work this summer at a restaurant, when he went back to school and put in his notice, the initial replacement was an illegal. That lasted a day, as the owner called ICE or DPS, and the illegal was taken into custody. The second replacement was an actual Texas resident. If all government assistance was cut off and businesses acted like my son's employer, most illegals will self deport. Government assistance includes schools, hospitals, and anything that takes one cent of government money, other than the bus ticket to the border, which I would be ok with using tax dollars for.

Last few years my wife and I were in CA, hospital ER visits were a nightmare, at least, in Bakersfield. Illegals everywhere, all with very expensive cell phones, etc. They didn't care how long they had to wait to see a doctor. They weren't paying for it. Which is probably why Urgent care became a thing. $20 up front meant skin in the game and probably helped weed out more than a few of the free loaders.

For most people, growing a garden is a money loser compared to buying at Costco or whatever. It's a hobby, and a fun way to get outside, but no way is it cost effective.

So then I don't see the connection with the loss of cheap local illegal labor. They're saying the price of food is going to go up we won't be able to afford vegetables unless we grow them ourselves?
I think they're saying that farmers will have to pay more to have their crops picked, so food prices will rise, and that is correct. It's a different question whether or not that makes overall economic sense.

And then I got to rake up all the mowed grass.

What they say:
"But who will rake your garden?"
What they mean:
"But who will rake my garden?"
Yeah I think they believe it has broad appeal "we'll all be hurt by this!" when it only means they lose their nanny and gardener, which none of us have. Elites lose perspective pretty quickly in all cultures.
There's more than cost involved in home gardening, though. Its probably not more expensive to grow your own tomatos than to buy them, but the flavor of home grown is 900000% better than store bought ones. I get that its a bit of labor (like 10 minutes a day in your garden outside), but that cost is pretty minimal.

Sure, you can easily justify it.
"I am a lawyer, my billable rate is $550 an hour. If I cook dinner every day, at an hour a day, that's $3,850 in labor costs alone! It's much cheaper to hire a cook to cook for me, or to eat out" or "it would cost me millions in lost billable hours to raise my kids on my own. I need to hire a nanny, it's so much cheaper!"
Of course, they're not staying up late writing briefs every day, most of the time they're sitting on the couch drinking wine and watching netflix. But you can see how they justify their laziness and lack of attention to their families / homelife.

Tell me how much it costs America for all of the ER visits and other medical care that these illegals consume. And just for shits and giggles, add in the cost of policing and incarceration.
I'll bet it dwarfs the theoretical increase in food production costs.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo
It goes well beyond that. Millions of Americans are on welfare because those jobs were taken at below minimum wage. Then, add in the free or almost free housing, and the $2,000 per month in food stamps that more than two thirds of illegals are getting.
We are paying more than twice the cost by keeping Americans on welfare and subsidizing illegals. It is just that the employers aren't paying it directly - we taxpayers are.

I figure with the depletion of Russian armor ( and aircraft) that there's not much left. A solid push by Western armies and Russia is out of Ukraine.
The problem is obvious: will Russia go nuclear....to try to survive in Ukraine or just to get revenge.

Posted by: Dave's not here, man at November 25, 2024 02:51 PM (raPis)
Well, they have 52. I suppose somewhere between 15 and 25?

========
The Census Bureau admitted 3 years ago that it botched the 2020 census.
CA should have lost between 2 and 3 more seats. IL and NY should have lost another each. Something like 17 seats were misappropriated.
And that's with the counting of illegals.
If Republicans own the executive in 2030, President Vance (or whoever) must force through the change to prevent the errors from 2020 and to not count illegals.
CA could lose 9 seats at once.

Putin wasn't surprised when Ukranians fought back, they did last time when he invaded an area with unmarked tanks. What changed was that the entire western world decided to flood Ukraine with weapons, "advisors" and money this time.
I've seen reports that Britain has more political prisoners in jail then Russia does.
Britain has jailed like 30 times more people for social media posts than Russia. Its a totalitarian state, it is not a place to move to now.
A woman in 2021 got the Wuhan Flu, which complicated an illness she already had. The National Health Service wrote her off: no cure, die quietly. Her family wanted to try an experimental treatment outside the UK. The NHS called her insane and took them to court to stop this. The judge agreed, and further, took her passport away to stop her from trying to get treatment.
They passed a law that makes it a thought crime to merely pray silently outside an abortion clinic.

There's more than cost involved in home gardening, though. Its probably not more expensive to grow your own tomatos than to buy them, but the flavor of home grown is 900000% better than store bought ones. I get that its a bit of labor (like 10 minutes a day in your garden outside), but that cost is pretty minimal.

My 13th birthday gift was a Craftsman Push Mower.
Wouldn't have been so bad, except Dad took me to look at Road Bikes the week before.
Much disappointment when the Bianchi I imagined I was getting turned out to be a lawnmower.

290 Wow, we get to go back to the 50's? When a Man could support a family and buy a house on a single salary? When we sent our kids to church, and made them do their homework?
When being a single parent was because Dad died in the War, not because Mom was an unmarried slut or threw Dad to the Curb?
When they served REAL Meals on Airplanes? We had big cars with V8s? When food was MUCH more natural and unprocessed then now?
OK... I'm in.

I think they're saying that farmers will have to pay more to have their crops picked, so food prices will rise, and that is correct. It's a different question whether or not that makes overall economic sense.

Back when we lived in a nice neighborhood in Southern Califzuela, we were pretty much the only people on our block who did their own landscaping.
Illegals did all the rest -- employing the ubiquitous leaf-blower, of course)!while blasting their shitty repetitive "music" -- but I did admire them for at least working, and working hard.

2) The farmers voted for the Tories and/or Brexit and therefore we have a right to hurt them

Removing the 20 million illegal invaders off of EBT will lower the price of food for Americans.
Fun Fact: In June of 2021 the Biden-Harris junta almost doubled the EBT money. Before inflation really clobbered groceries. They knew what they were doing and shielded the illegal invaders.... and made food inflation that much worse.

Why the hell would the Brits and Frogs want to into a land war over the Donbass and Crimea?
Those areas have effectively been under Russian sovereignty since Catherine the Great.
Yes, Ukraine is sovereign now, but is getting into a dangerous conflict with Russia over Russian populated land really worth the effort?
Even if they manage to take the regions back that Russia occupied they’d have to deport millions of Russian-speaking Russians from the area just to prevent an insurgency and another civil war in a few years.
But no, let’s have a pissing contest in a meat grinder against a nuclear power.
Kier and Emmanuel need to blow each other instead of trying to blow up the world.

Forcing companies to hire actual citizens will raise prices... but the overall lower cost of having fewer illegals should balance that out. The problem is that most of the costs are governmental, and they're spending money they aren't getting from taxes. So basically at best it means less debt.

In the interim she go in hot water. So really she was punished for trying to do the best legal job she could.

A woman in 2021 got the Wuhan Flu, which complicated an illness she already had. The National Health Service wrote her off: no cure, die quietly. Her family wanted to try an experimental treatment outside the UK. The NHS called her insane and took them to court to stop this.
Their second mistake was telling the government they were going to try an experimental treatment outside the UK.
Posted by: FeatherBlade at November 25, 2024 03:05 PM (hB7mE)
They do this with children a LOT. Even if the outside doctor volunteers to do it for no cost. They want their patients to die once they sentence them to death.
I can understand not going nuts due to cost if there is nothing that can be done in their eyes. The not letting the patient escape is monstrous.

To be honest, the California economy will implode without illegals working at below-minimum-wage rates.
That's because our minimum wage is now an absurd $18.67/hr in San Francisco, and pretty close to that in most other cities/counties.
If homeowners actually paid this wage to their workers, every little thing would be astronomically expensive. So nearly everyone hires illegals willing to work at lower rats, and then pays them in cash. Otherwise, the economic system is untenable.
The reason the voters are OK with this is that they think the higher minimum wage is a punishment against businesses (who are evil capitalists), but they (the liberal voters themselves) feel that they shouldn't have to be similarly punsihed. So they pass laws to hurt business owners and then flaunt the law themselves.
But with the illegals gone, suddenly they'll all have to pay the actual minimum wage to actual Americans. Which the won't be able to afford.
So everything will come to a standstill.
Except the popcorn industry.

I was at the gas station today and I had a nice interaction with a stranger. She apparently saw me looking at her dog and decided to chat with me. She brought him over, introduced the dog, and asked if I wanted to pet him. I did. He leaned against me while I pet his neck and asked a couple of questions. I thanked her and finished up getting gas.
Because I work from home, I don't get a lot of casual interactions with people. It was nice.

You are thinking about it from a business owner's perspective. Subtract the costs for welfare being paid to the Americans who lost those jobs, and the costs of putting illegals up in 'free' housing, and the cost of taxpayer paid emergency rooms, and the monthly food stamp payments to all illegals. It is cheaper to hire Americans and throw the illegals out of the country.

This is all true, to a certain extent, but the problem is that governments won't lower taxes and fees if their costs go down. And the federal costs are spent without taxes funding them, its all just deficit spending.

France has a pretend election so the deep state knows exactly how to steal the real one.
England can change 'presidents' without an election at all.

There is little question, though, that these Sanctuary jurisdictions should have federal monies stripped from them, as Homan suggests. The federal government is paying blue cities a lot of money supposedly for "law enforcement;" if they won't enforce the law, that money should stop.
++++
They absolutely should. This is, in essence, a nullification crisis. The blue states and cities have been engaging in nullification for more than a decade with no consequence. The border ("sanctuary" policies) and drugs (legal marijuana) are obvious, glaring examples.
Meanwhile, any attempt by the non-progs to engage in nullification - "gun sanctuaries" and whatnot - are immediately resisted by the feds.
Well, turnabout is fair play. Give it to them hard and deep. If the states and cities want to make a military issue out of their sanctuary status, then so be it. They break the law, the feds cut them off and if they want to start a war over it and compel the feds to turn the taps back on, then let them try. It will be illustrative and clarifying regardless of outcome.

I have a brand new kitchen faucet I need to get installed. J, bless him, is worthless when it comes to things like this. I wonder if I could do it, because hiring a handyman for something so small is proving difficult.
Tip: If the valves haven't been moved in a long time (if you don't know, they haven't been) turn off the main water feed to the house first. Valves that haven't moved in a while are prone to breakage and you don't want one breaking with pressure behind it.
But if it does break, the water's already off and the valves are pretty easy to replace, too.

My hazy recollection of that incident is that she wasn't against issuing the licenses per se, but that it was still specifically illegal to do so in Ky and she wanted some official notification from higher up before she did.
In the interim she go in hot water. So really she was punished for trying to do the best legal job she could.

Watch a YouTube video on changing a faucet and I bet you could do it. I change the flappers on the toilets myself. That's a lot easier than a faucet though.
Might need a faucet wrench unless you have really long, skinny arms but that's a minor expense. IIRC, you (Piper) removed and replaced a drain P-trap a couple of months ago. It's not much more complicated than that.

Well the the Brits want Crimea because they are idiots hankering after the Crimean War -- which is mostly remembered for Idiot British Generalship and Terrible British hospitals killing their own men.
For almost 6 months the Brits were determined to cross the Dnepr at one spot on the swampy banks of the Riverbed (a dam collapsed upstream a few years ago and water levels are low) and march to Sevestapol. Now a look at the map shows that the narrow entry into Crimea would be trivial to defend. The Russian Generals convinced Putin not to counterattack, instead they just shelled the poor troops in this swamp from afar and every so often collected prisoners...and shelled boats carrying wounded out and new troops in. It was even stupider than the Charge of the Light Brigade.
France is pissed since a missle wiped out some 'volunteers' who were 'advising' in Kharkov.

>>The entire point of having valves at the outlet is so you don't have to shut down the entire house.
And you would think they would make them a lot better quality, for it.
However. They don't and they are the primary cause of issues outside of Freezing Pipes in my experience. If they aren't leaking, I leave them be.
Assuming that shutting the main is convenient and an option. In a house, it almost always is.

@376 the problem is that governments won't lower taxes and fees if their costs go down.
For sure, and this is a major anchor around the neck of education "reform." Education is expensive, at any level. If you could break the back of the federal machine and just pay at the state level, it would be a wash. Get beyond that, back to private or parochial schools and contract tutors, you might even come out ahead in total. But every one of those levels has its own infrastructure, staffing, and legal tradition with a tax tap attached. It's going to take a long generation of really wanting it to undo all those knots. And you have to keep the majority.

Best to not touch the shut off valves at all if you can get to your water main and shut the whole house down.
Those valves are a very weak link in your system. Try to never use them if you can.

I have a toilet that needs its innards replaced. The shutoff valve, get this, doesn't shut off the water pressure.

So it's shutting off the water supply to the house and draining the line going to the toilet.

And worse yet, this is an infantry war. All those fancy artillery guns and tanks are special forces have to hide behind the poor bloody infantry who are a small fraction of the manpower.

Crimean War trivia I thought was quite amusing when I found it out; the episode everyone remembers is the Charge of the Light Brigade, which of course was nobly disastrous. One of the reasons it was so disastrous was that it was supposed to be supported by a charge of a heavy brigade from another angle - but the heavy brigade stayed put, never left their lines, and thus the light brigade charged dug in lines all on their own and were massacred.
Why did the Heavy Brigade sit this one out? Turned out that he 2 commanders were brothers in law - and had hated each other for 20 years, and were barely on speaking terms even in staff meetings. The Heavy Brigade Commander was overjoyed to find an excuse to stay in his lines and let his hated relatives unit get cut to pieces.

To be fair to the Heavy Brigade, the guns that the Light Brigade was charging were an entirely different set of guns at the far end of a long valley with other guns on the side. The correct guns weren't visible to the Colonel, and the staff officer giving the order pointed to the other guns because he didn't know either and didn't want to check.

Biden Harris set the whole "Full Court press by executive action" scenario up...They declared a Border "Crises", defined it as an "Emergency",including authorizing FEMA to get involved. NOW "Emergency measures" are fully warranted and the pathway cleared.

Depending on the faucet, a specialized wrench might be needed. I just replaced my kitchen faucet. Was not terribly difficult, but removing the old faucet was a PITA. Mostly just awkward trying to get my hands behind the sink basin underneath the sink.

_______________
Pro tip: buy a set of deep sockets and the longest ratchet extender bar you can find that has a fitting that accommodates the deep socket. Then you can remove the nuts fastening the faucet to the sink (the worst part, IMO) with a simple ratchet, without having to get your hands in behind the sink bowl.

You need a deep socket because typically the nuts fastening the faucet to the sink are halfway up the stud, too far for a standard socket to reach them.

Homan is incorrect - federal law does not supercede state law.
And states are not required or cooperate with federal law enforcement.
They may not legally *interfere* with it, but they are not required to cooperate.

"Refusing to transfer illegal immigrants in custody to ICE may constitute harboring, a violation of federal law."
Harboring unauthorized aliens under subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) makes it a crime to harbor, shield, or conceal an unauthorized alien knowingly. Harboring includes providing shelter or other assistance (financial, food, etc.).
I would not be shy about enforcing it. Arrest law enforcement if you have to - they can go right into custody with the illegals they are harboring. They can complain about "just following orders" but the answer is this - you were informed that you broke the law and willingly did so, orders or not. Also, whose orders? Then arrest that person who gave the orders. No jail time - process and release with a court date. Everything by the book.

In prosecuting the perps for harboring, make sure you document multiple instances of them being informed what they are doing is illegal under federal law, and what penalties might attach.
I'd slap a $10k fine on the perps, and a warning that the next time will be 1 year in jail. Good luck if you are a LEO with a felony on your record.
You won't have to do this very often, just once or twice. Again, the mayor might talk tough, but when the Denver PD starts losing officers...and can't find anyone to take their places...it's fine for the politicians to parade around waving the bloody shirt...but LEO - they won't do it.

I disagree about cutting off JUST the law assistance money. If they are educating illegal kids, cut off the education money. If they are paying to house illegal immigrants, cut off the housing assistance and the fed “guarantees” from Freddie and Fannie. If they are feeding illegals, cut off the food money. If they are giving illegals drivers licenses, cut off highway funds. And so on.

I fail to see why not simply enforcing EXISTING immigration laws won't sort things out quite neatly.

"We already know the public rejected the lawfare against Trump. Now, if Trump begins using legal process against #Resistance figures (who are legitimately breaking the law), we'll see if the public is against all use of prosecutorial power to settle political disputes"
these won't be "political disputes" ... they will be criminal behavior ... procesuting them won't be lawfare but will be following the rule of law ...
