Republican Rep. Steve King introduced the “Mayor Libby Schaaf Act of 2018,” which would ban officials from “the purposeful broadcast ... of information relating to any imminent action by a federal law enforcement officer or agent.” Violations could result in up to five years in prison.

King said his bill would make clear that disclosing an imminent enforcement would amount to obstruction of justice.

“I want lawless, sanctuary city politicians to hear this message clearly: If you obstruct ICE, you are going to end up in the cooler,” King said in a statement.

Because forced compliance to federal athorities is always a great idea.

ICE is right up with the DEA in terms of overmilitarized, absurdly corrupt police forces that consistently overstep their bounds. Fuck them all, and fuck everybody involved.

States' rights unless we don't like them, it's the Republican way.

Remember kids, law enforcement are your friend so long as they can do whatever they please without scrutiny to people you don't like!

dont warn people about the gestapo or we'll throw you in prison regardless of your state's rights - gop 2018

ICE is pretty much the Gestopo in general function: round up the ‘undesirables’ and get rid of them.

Obviously not to the same degree of moral depravity, yet. But given how much power they’re continually given, we’ll see.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I guess they haven't committed genocide yet.

It's called the "Mayor Libby Schaaf Act" because it would imprison people who warn of ICE sweeps like Schaaf, not because she created the act. She wanted to prepare immigrants for the sweeps so they were informed of their rights in the event ICE comes knocking at their door.

Also can we mention that naming an act after someone you want to see arrested by said act is really fucking low?

It's authoritarian, it's like something out of a declining democracy
