A Department of Justice community policing grant program calls for local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration law.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions wrote in a memo last week that the DOJ will work to tailor grants in order to “promote a lawful system of immigration.”
The Community Policing Development (CPD) program gives recipients funds to work with local law enforcement agencies. The fiscal year 2017 grant will give up to $11 million to government agencies and non-government agencies to “significantly advance the field of community policing.” Up to $900,000 of these funds will go towards “cooperative partnerships with federal law enforcement to combat illegal immigration.”

There is something dangerous about the Federal Government "giving grants" to local police agencies - regardless of the purpose of the money.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, the Federal Government is bankrupt. Literally.
It has no money and spend everything it extorts from the citizens on interest payments to the bond holders, most of whom are the Federal Reserve Bank and its cronies.
Secondly, the local law enforcement should be just that, local.
Does everyone see the problem with this legislation?
I fail to see any problem with this legislation. It's been done for years. The more law enforcement officers with the ability to enforce immigration laws the better.
