[GP] On Thursday morning Democratic Mayor Bill De Blasio went on CNN to discuss how he is going to comply with ICE in certain circumstances.From Legal Insurrection:
If this weren’t so infuriating, it might be funny . . . Appearing on CNN this morning to discuss President Trump’s plan to cut funds to sanctuary cities, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio implied that the city will not cooperate in the deportation of thieves who don’t use violence because they might be the "breadwinners" of their families.
Here is part of the Transcript:
CAMEROTA: How about theft?
DE BLASIO: Well here’s an example. Theft, violent, any theft involving a weapon, for example --
CAMEROTA: Not violent. Just a regular, low-level crime.
DE BLASIO: There are very low-level crimes, for example, small amounts of marijuana possession. Going through a stoplight that doesn’t cause any damage to anyone. Those are areas where we will not work to see someone deported. Why? Because these are members of a family in our community, say it’s the breadwinner in that family. So you deport the breadwinner and the rest of the family, including the children, are left without anyone. You tear a family apart. That’s not good government. That’s not in my view moral.
