Democrats have been putting up as much resistance as possible to President Trump's immigration agenda, creating chaos and making our communities less safe in the process. In Minneapolis, opposition to immigration enforcement has led to a surge in ICE agents in the city, and Leftists are using that as grounds to riot and block roads.
In places where governments and local law enforcement cooperate with ICE, there is no such chaos, but some Democrats just don't seem to care.
Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins is one of those, and she's bragging about putting up hurdles to immigration enforcement in her city by restricting the number of officers who can work with ICE.

"The Governor issued a requirement that local municipalities cooperate with ICE, and many municipalities, including the city of Miami, before I became mayor, signed that agreement. It is very difficult to unwind," Higgins said, "it would take a vote of our city commission to do so. So, obviously, as mayor, I intend to comply with the law."
"So what we have done, in our 1,500-person police department, is we have trained three individuals who should ICE call, that are able to answer that call and work with them," Higgins said. "Obviously, we are going coply the law, but we are going to help beyond that."
This is the entire Democrat playbook. Resist Trump has become Resist ICE

Yes, it has. They will reflexively oppose everything that ICE does.
If you are a state in the USA, you have to follow federal law.

This is what the Civil War was fought over in the first place, 170 years ago, and we settled it.
Democrats continue to cause problems. This is simply what they do.
There needs to be consequences for not doing this.
Why is it always the female mayors? Eileen Higgins, Michele Wu, Jacob Frey...

We see what you did there.

Under Gov. DeSantis’s new law, the Mayor CAN be removed… Just sayin’pic.twitter.com/rcgst0TPHK
As several Florida nurses have learned, the state is not to be trifled with on issues like this.

Under Florida's Constitution, the governor can suspend a mayor for malfeasance or neglect of duty. That suspension would allow the governor to name an interim mayor while the state Senate reviews the suspension. The Senate can reinstate the mayor or vote to permanently remove them.
