Calumet City, Illinois is joining the ranks of cities that don't care about its crime rate. Its already well known for its high crime rate, it has dogged this city for decades. Of course when the city fathers don't do much to stop crime and even join in on it, the crime isn't going away on its own.
It
plans on prohibiting its own police department from helping enforce immigration laws. Its joining the ranks of dumb and misguided cities that think it is doing the "right" thing by ignoring federal immigration laws. It will add rules that would penalize Calumet City Police from helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Ugh,,,,,,aren't local police are the first line of Immigration enforcement? That puts the police department in a place it should never be put. Not allowed to follow the law of the federal government due to a local ordinance.
It will only attract the criminal element to Calumet City. This always happens. Nobody will notice this until some illegal commits some horrible crime.
Now I usually favor local control, but in this case they are doing the wrong thing. This will bite them in the butt.
It is illegal to order your police department to ignore laws. Even ones you don't like.
Hoping for Real Change!
