Being a sanctuary city doesn't mean much, apparently. Just ask folks on Lexington Street in East Boston tonight - if you can find any of them.

That proposal is exactly as intelligent and practical as every other suggestion Will makes.

Where have flat salaried cops gotten you? Do you get what you pay for from your community's police protection?
Just for you, Will

That was cute, and unfortunately over the head of way too many people in this country.

Well, they won't. They're going after low-hanging fruit. Easier to pick off a parent than someone who's potentially armed. ICE has done more to create MS-13 than they ever have done to stop it, and breaking up families will only help feed that monster.
Sort of misses the point about sanctuary cities

When local and state officials create alliances in communities of undocumented people they get more cooperation on crime investigations. If you take a story on its face and say they are looking for someone with a criminal record but nobody will open the doors to them they won't find that guy.
Sanctuary cities don't stop ICE

Sanctuary cities don't stop ICE. They just refuse to allow police to serve ICE detainers, inquire into immigration status or be deputized by ICE. Sanctuary city status doesn't stop ICE from doing their own thug work, but that's the point -- so much of what ICE does depends on states and localities doing it for them.
The states have some choice about this.

Of course the states lack of cooperation with ice has less to do with compassion and more to do with the fact that they leave people in hoc without paying that very expensive bill of housing them
It doesn't work like that

ICE detainees are housed in county jails and other facilities throughout the country, with little relationship to where they were detained or living. Massachusetts has three such facilities. The budgeting is kinda complex - starting two years ago, the ICE funds went directly into the Massachusetts general fund, but the state increased the budget for the three facilities where ICE detainees are held.

If ICE paid their bills this wouldn't have been an issue with local and state governments.
They are paying their bills

They pay the Commonwealth, who puts the money in the General Fund, but has increased the budgets of the 3 facilities to compensate for increased costs.
The deeper question is whether the Commonwealth is profiting from this. Probably not, but they are not losing money in the deal, either.
this is an old ICE tactic

I am ALL FOR ICE coming in if they intend to nail MS-13. I'm against illegal immigration but if there are people we HAVE to get out it is these f-ckers in the MS-13 gangs. Those are people you do not want in this country. Get them out first, worry about the rest later.
And yes, there are MS-13 in East Boston. Just look at the police logs and articles about the arrests of these guys.
