Seattle Mayor ORDERS Cops to SPY on ICE — Federal Agents BANNED from City Property
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
Seattle's socialist mayor just announced she's spending $4 million in taxpayer money to fight ICE and directing police to investigate federal agents—as if local cops have any power over federal law enforcement. Spoiler alert: they don't. This is pure virtue signaling theater from a city that can't even handle the open-air drug markets on Third Avenue or the prostitution along Aurora, but somehow they'll find time to document ICE activities? Meanwhile, the city just paid $30 million because their defund-the-police experiment at CHOP got someone killed. Now they want to protect criminal illegals while their own residents deal with rampant crime. The police guild is already calling this political theater, and they're right—mayors have zero control over federal operations. ICE will keep doing what it does, and this outrage will blow over just like "defund the police" did. Is anyone surprised Seattle would rather protect criminal illegals than their own taxpaying citizens? When will these blue cities learn that virtue signaling doesn't equal good governance? Let me know in the comments what you think the next manufactured outrage will be. Don't forget to subscribe and hit that notification bell!
