Major Ruling: Local Authorities Can’t Overrule the Federal Government’s Deportations

The Ninth Circuit ruled in support of the federal government’s authority to deport illegal aliens.

A three-member panel ruled that local authorities do not have the power to overrule the federal government’s deportation of illegals. This happened back in 2019 in a county in Washington state.

The county tried to prevent ICE from using their local airfield to deport illegals.

The Court also ruled that the federal government has the right to sue if local authorities try to obstruct them, as they did in Washington.

The federal government supersedes local and state authorities.

The Washington Examiner reports it was a unanimous ruling. They said they violated the Constitution.

At issue is an April 2019 executive order issued by King County Executive Dow Constantine, which directed county officials to prohibit fixed base operators on a county airfield near Seattle from servicing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement charter flights used to deport illegal foreign nationals.

Constantine’s order prohibited King County International Airport from supporting “the transportation and deportation of immigration detainees in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, either traveling within or arriving or departing the United States or its territories.”

The airport is located next to a major ICE-Seattle base of operations.

The Constitution must not be required reading, for some:

The Supremacy Clause

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The elected officials spouting they will obstruct the removal of these criminals on U.S. soil need to be charged with sedition, harboring, providing aid and comfort to the enemy (since we know many that came through the border catch and release program are associated with terrorist states/criminal organizations) and obstruction as a clear and present danger to the sanctity and security of this nation and her citizens.

First cut all federal aid to states and cities that give aid to illegals . Make it known that all illegals in red states will be deported first . As the illegals migrate to blue states ahead of ICE. Then make it legal for states to deport on their own. The blue states will end up footing the bill to round up and deport most of the illegals as they flee to their states.
Problem Solved
