Attorney General Bill Barr has launched an all-out attack against sanctuary cities, claiming they are endangering national security. The AG says he will allow the Dept. of Homeland Security to issue “federal subpoenas to access information about criminal aliens in the custody of uncooperative jurisdictions,” Fox News reports.

Barr says the DOJ is targeting the State of New Jersey and King County, Washington, and will be “reviewing the practices, policies, and laws of other jurisdictions across the country. This includes assessing whether jurisdictions are complying with our criminal laws, in particular the criminal statute that prohibits the harboring or shielding of aliens in the United States.”

In addition to targeting certain state and local governments, Barr appears to be making the targeting personal, declaring, “we are meticulously reviewing the actions of certain district attorneys who have adopted policies of charging foreign nationals with lesser offenses for the express purpose of avoiding the federal immigration consequences of those nationals’ criminal conduct. In pursuing their personal ambitions and misguided notions of equal justice, these district attorneys are systematically violating the rule of law and may even be unlawfully discriminating against American citizens.”

Fox News calls the program “a ‘significant escalation’ against left-wing local and state governments that obstruct the ‘lawful functioning of our nation’s immigration system.’”

1. Hopefully, the first thing our new Democratic President does on day 1

is fire Barr.

[rurallib]

3. Of course the new Dem president will pick their own AG. What I want is a full

release of documents. I have no doubt there is a bank of shredders working 24 hours a day shredding most everything Barr produces.
In which case I hope Barr is jailed under violations of various open government acts.
AND - the hour the new president is sworn in I hope we see the fully unreacted Mueller report.

[ooky]

5. Of course, I just want it to be the first day.

It wouldn't bother me if our new president fires Barr during the inauguration speech. I want it fast, and to go down like a hammer.

8. I view Barr as analogous to the character "Megamind"

He's the kind of evil that hides under a veneer of civility and common sense. I think the idea of them shredding records is crazy. They'll hide everything they've done in plain sight.

[Calista241]

7. Unless Barr is the one guy chosen for continuity of government purposes, he'll have already resigned

by January 20, 2021.

[ooky]

10. Then I want to see him taken into custody on day one.

[Calista241]

12. Lol, i feel you there. But it's also an impossible hope.

They’ll be investigating him for years before anything could happen. Barr doesn’t tweet, and he seems smart enough to me to not bring all these crazies into his criminal conspiracy plans.

White collar investigations take a crazy amount of time, and this will be no different.

13. DAY 1 is perfect. That way tRUMP

CANNOT pardon the asshole!!

[ooky]

14. You bet. He is the very first Trump "thing" I want gone.

He is an absolute traitor to this nation and I think every democratic candidate for President should make that pledge.

And then I want him prosecuted for any crimes which can be proven and have him imprisoned for the rest of his miserable life.

2. This shit makes my blood boil.

[JudyM]

4. Still fervently hoping for incapacitating occurrences for trump and pence.

[gratuitous]

6. You want us to do the feds' job for them? Pay us

Local law enforcement doesn't get paid to do CBP and ICE's work for them. Localities aren't signing on to break up families and torture and cage children, either. Do your own dirty work, Billy.

9. A good start would be a bi-partisan immigration bill.

That’s their horror, parties working together to solve a problem

[Initech]

11. Absolutely, this sanctuary city attack is an FU to the Democratic party.
