Chicago won't see 'Portland-style deployment' of federal agents, Mayor Lori Lightfoot says

usatoday.com/story/news/nation

I'm skeptical...

@MisterE It's going to be a power struggle then? This will go well I'm sure. How come they left Cleveland off? They skerred?

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine Could be, if DHS does start shit like they are in Portland. I'm skeptical, and think Lightfoot maybe is being naive. Not sure yet.

As far as Cleveland, is it in the 100-mile border zone, or a sanctuary city? I'll check my maps.

Oh, they're not scared. Barr & Wolf have cover from the current occupant of the WH, which confers power on them, so they think. We'll see.

@MisterE Yes, Cleveland is on Lake Huron. Great Lakes are international waters.

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine I don't think people are thinking about international waters since the border zone is 100 *air* miles *inland*.

@MisterE Can't wait for them to show up at the Federal Courthouse in Detroit. Feds dressed in kit gonna defend the Rosa Parks Federal Building from Black Lives Matter protests? Ummmmhmmmmm.

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine Go ahead and Google "sanctuary cities in Ohio" and you'll have a lot of back and forth about cities declaring themselves as sanctuary cities from 1987 to now.

@MisterE I googled it like you said. I see a lot of cities state they are sanctuary cities and then a lot about GOP Ohio legislature outlawing it and forcing places to cooperate with ICE by cutting funding. :facepalm:

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine Yeah, they're kind of schizoid about it at the moment.
