Fullerton To Support Anti-ICE Lawsuit
Last Tuesday the Fullerton City Council voted 4-0 in closed session to file an amicus brief in support of the Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem lawsuit filed by the ACLU, et al. against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for their violations of basic civil rights.
Turns out the aye vote was cast by Zahra, Charles, Jung, and Valencia. Dunlap apparently found it impossible to vote one way or the other.
A good chunk of Fullerton’s liberal brigade was on hand to exhort the Council to support the lawsuit and they took the opportunity to do so for an hour and half. When the Council finally “reported out” of closed session the announcement of the decision produced applause.
This was the right decision.
Whatever one thinks about illegal immigrants and their place in American society and our economy, there’s no escaping two basic facts. Everyone has the rights of due process in the United States per the 5th Amendment. We are all protected against unfounded search and seizure by the 4th Amendment. Case closed.
What we have been seeing in California is the wanton disregard for the Constitution by a lawless administration that has zero respect for it, and is more interested in exercising a race-based reign of terror by a collection of masked and heavily armed goons. The State of California and the municipalities therein have a moral obligation to say something and do something, at least.
I guess your position on this issue depends on what you really believe about yourself. If you’re willing to support the war being waged on our streets by anonymous, unaccountable, and violent agents of the federal government – a veritable Geheime Staatspolizei; if you are willing to see the federal government send its troops to patrol the streets of America in peacetime, you are living in the wrong country.
Agree 100%.
I also love the way Mayor Jung avoided the Kennedy Sisters/Zahra ambush attempt. He outfoxed them again.
The Kennedys still can’t stand Jung. Their praise is exclusive to Zahra and Charles.
Loser Fullerton just jinxed the case. A few more bucks for Dick Jones, tho.
True. Baron Bettenhausen is going to have to dust off his Constitutional law book he got in year one.
I completely agree. Well said.
Sue them just for wearing that fuckin’ Yankees cap.
We have to stop these fascist fucks somehow, and ICE’s goon squads are a good place to start.
Translation: We have to prevent the federal government from enforcing the immigration laws we ignored because we are pro-crime and anarchy.
Translation: I am a fascist at heart and I don’t give a shit about the Constitution because I hate Mexicans and I’m proud of my bigotry. I’m also proud of my ignorance and I love to own the libtards.
When you call everyone with whom you disagree a bigot, fascist, NAZI, or racist, you’re actually looking in a mirror and accurately describing yourself. You despise dissent, law and order, and take pride in your arrogance.
You’re just another spoon-fed egomaniac with an inferiority complex who must drag others down to elevate himself.
I don’t call everyone I disagree with a NAZI, or a fascist, or a bigot. Just people who are. And I do want to drag NAZIs down, although it’s not an uplifting job.
Dunlap has drunk the Heritage Foundation cool-aid. Shame on him. Just another fear struck Repuglican. He, his vote and his party, are immaterial.
It’s not a good look. The abstention (or whatever it was) means that he knew voting yes was right, but he didn’t have the huevos to vote no, either. Bad.
Why do they even allow abstentions? If there is a conflict of interest, then leave the room. If not, cast a vote like you were elected to do.
I don’t mind an abstention, if say, the voter doesn’t have sufficient information one way or another. With Fullerton’s incompetent staff reports that’s not unusual.
However too many cowards abstain because they don’t want a controversial vote on their record.
Abstentions are recorded 4-0-1.
This was 4-0.
Immaterial? Clearly you can’t count given the results of the 2024 presidential election.
MORE enforcement! MORE deportations! LESS crime!
More US Constitution!
Absolutely agree.
This is a disgrace !
Criminals over law abiding citizens
Except that they’re not going after criminals but by accident. They’re just grabbing Mexican-looking at random.
They tried to catch all the white guys standing around Home Depot, but they were too fast.
Agree
You forgot to mention snatching people and sending them to prison in another country and sticking the taxpayers with the bill.
In the end, all fascism is a self serving grift.
History sure makes it look that way. The NAZI bosses all got massive monetary rewards from the Reichstag puppets, not to mention all their side finagles.
Wokeholes hurl the NAZI accusation so frequently that it has become utterly meaningless and useless. You’re FIRED!
Unfortunately USA 2025 looks a lot like Germany 1933. The parallels are uncanny.
If seeing the obvious makes me “progressive” then I’m progressive.
Not even close. Nice hyperbole though. Observing the mania progressives suffer from when laws that have been on the books for decades are actually enforced is good entertainment to those of us who are still sane.
Actually very close. The US Constitution has been “on the books” for over 20 decades and your donkey grifter president just ignores what he can’t fix through his court.
I predict an Enabling Act by the end of the year
More of your false Nostradamus hyperbole.
You’re melting little snowflake.
Politics is self-serving grift. Congress is proof.
Bologna
Criminals above law abiding citizens ?
WTH ♀️ ?
We lost a six year old girl because of sanctuary.
Unbelievable
You spelled “Meyer” wrong. But you got “bologna” right, although you meant “baloney.”
What’s with the female sign? And how do you feel about crackheads and dopers who might be in your own family?
Over 233,000 unaccompanied minors are unaccounted for thanks to the Biden Administration and pro-crime democrats. Many of those children are being trafficked and are forced into sex work and labor. They are literally slaves. That’s how much democrats really care “about the children”. Democrats have loved and promoted slavery for centuries. Nothing has changed.
Rave on.
You’ve checked all the boxes of the MAGA paranoid delusions. You’ve been fed lies and you lapped them up.
MAGATS would rather blame anybody but themselves for their life failures.
It’s all about grievance.
You just perfectly described Gavin Newsom, one of the key “leaders” of the floundering, shrinking, and failing Democratic Party.
Truth be told !
Thank you
Get a job, deadbeat.
Wonder how much it is to cost the city to file this amicus brief.
You’ll never find out.
When is the retaliation from the Trump admin coming to Fullerton? I know a guy who committed immigration fraud with a fake marriage.
I 100% agree with every word by Joe Sipowicz. A first for me, I think. This is not constitutional. Total racial profiling and fear mongering. I generally agree with Dunlap on his votes, and his failure to support this vote is a glaring stain on his record. Regarding what is going on in this country right now, this quote seems pertinent:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
Hyperbole is the language of fear.
And all Americans should be very afraid. The slow roll is picking up steam. There will be no federal elections anymore with more than one candidate. The Republicans will rename themselves; the new party will consist of bigots and traitors and ignorant trash. It will give itself an Orwellian name like “The New Reform Party.” The NRP Presidium will dictate everything.
Whatever you’re smoking has turned you into a paranoid moron.
I would agree.
But you’re as dumb as rock salt.
Hush little snowflake. If you get to agitated you will melt into a (very small) puddle.
@ Historian
Funny you mention “no elections any more with more than one candidate ” as we have basically been experiencing this in CA for decades.
Funny how it’s not a problem when it’s your “side”.
People in California vote Democrat overwhelmingly. Sometimes a Republican wins. Get it?
Americans fear the violence of your cult members, like Robin Westman, more than they fear ICE, and rightfully so.
There’s two Americas. The informed anti-fascists and the ignorant Trumpy NAZI-lovers. That’s it.
You are just another irrational cult member. You’re holding your ideology so close that you can no longer see the big picture.
Projecting?
I know exactly why Zahra doesn’t want ice in Fullerton and so does ice.
You got it !
You think somebody called the ICE office on Zahra for his phony marriage stunt?
