Seattle City Councilmember: Seattle police should block ICE raids

SEATTLE – Demonstrators took to the streets Friday demanding the release of a 23-year-old Dreamer who was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week in Des Moines, Washington.
Daniel Ramirez Medina was taken into custody during an operation targeting his father, a previously deported felon convicted of drug trafficking, according to ICE.
ICE says Medina admitted to being in a gang. His attorneys say that claim is unequivocally false.
Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant who led the crowd spoke outside the federal court house where Medina’s case was heard by a federal judge.
“When I heard that a Dreamer, a DOCA recipient who has the legal right to stay and work here, has been seized by ICE it sent a chill through my spine. And it is sending a chill throughout our immigrant and people of color communities, and we have to fight back,” said Sawant.
She called for action by Seattle’s mayor to block further ICE raids.
“I’m urging Mayor Murray – if this is a sanctuary city – do not use Seattle police against peaceful protesters. Furthermore, deploy Seattle police to block ICE from seizing immigrants.”
Sawant was confident that “mass non-violent civil disobedience” would insure Medina’s release from the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma.
“We have to stand in solidarity with all immigrants. And fight back against Trump and the billionaire class.”

This lady has no idea how law enforcement works, does she?

Sawant is a fricking retard. Even a lot of democrats around here don't like her. It's the ultra ultra ultra progressives who live in Capitol Hill that vote for her, and unfortunately there are too many of them.
She is a complete joke. A Trotskyist.

Seriously nugget, how terrible is it to live in that city?
Those people seem to have either a terrible mental health issue, or they are so ignorant of how this country works, they shouldnt be procreating, much less voting
Eta: or are they so fricking high that they know not what they do

She definitely just took full retard to whole nother level. These people are so far from reality you'd think it was a South Park episode.

This would just give the feds the authority to deploy the national guard or the army into Seattle to put down a rebellious police force that interfered with the official duties of the federal government.
Goddamn what a fricking idiot.

I get the feeling that my own personality wouldn't be able to shine through in a city like that. I tend to be very blunt, and usually don't think about if something is offensive if I believe it to be true.

If they are peaceful, there would be no need for police to get involved. Unless they are wanting the mayor to turn a blind eye like the Berkley idiot.

Tacoma, where he's being held, is not a sanctuary city. How is this supposed to work?

Seattle police to City Councilmember: Someone should block you from reproducing

So Seattle elected a moron ... doesn't surprise me

People care too much about other nations deplorables. There's a reason Mexico doesn't want these people back.

Why are "people of color" / colored people having chills because of ICE?

Liberals in 2017 are basically telling america: frick laws, frick elections, frick democracy. We will either rule you or destroy you.

So not only do they want police to not cooperate with immigration agents, they want them to openly block and defy them.
Insanity.

can't take these people seriously if they didn't protest ICE raids under Obama too.
They are protesting a man, not his actions. No other way to explain the lack of coverage/outrage when Obamas was doing it at an even higher rate.
