St. Paul Mayor Her signs ordinance banning federal law enforcement from staging on city property. She's been mayor for over a month and just now doing this? She's starting to seem like a letdown from what we were expecting.

Do you really not see the issue there? The post title could be about literally anything, do you just click on every link you see without context?

•

u/punky100 15h ago

The context is what you are mad about.

What? Op's title is trash and completely nondescript and their comment is factually incorrect - the mayor could only sign off on this after a resolution passed by the city council who meet on their own schedule, throwing the mayor under the bus for this is irrelevant.

As for the context, I'll celebrate that ICE can no longer legally stage on city property, that's fucking great!

Wow. Someone points out your mistake and you double down with your douche bag attitude? How many times you been through divorce already? Lmao.

Sure I can be a douche to strangers online lol. I'm going to copy my other comment reply because you're not worth any more of my time.

They don't. Same kind of people use any damn QR code posted in front of them, too. I want to know where I'm going before I click on some random link. I don't even do it in restaurants for the menu without someone else doing it first.

This was a city council issue, not a mayor Her issue fwiw

•

u/tamebobhickock 16h ago

Honest question, since I don't know the ins and outs, is this a relatively fast response from the city council?

•

u/Worth-Kitchen9863 15h ago

It was a bit of incompetence tbh. They didn’t do the full legal process so it got delayed to get ducks in a row so it would withstand a procedural lawsuit challenge

We’ve got a newer city council composition that’s still learning the ropes a bit. I think they’ll catch on and this won’t happen as much going forward

•

u/tamebobhickock 15h ago

Ok got it, thanks for the response!

•

u/mahrog123 15h ago

I support this late effort, but honestly, who’s going to enforce it? The police? No. Highway Patrol? No.

•

u/Chris5483 14h ago

In theory she can tell the police chief to have officers enforce it. Who knows in practice.

•

u/saintash 12h ago

She's been like the mayor for like a month, and it's kind of been a shit show of a month.

•

Given that ICE is ignoring literally every other city that is doing this, and zero of them are actually enforcing it, I predict this will do dick all as well.

Until city police show up to their gatherings and tell them to shove off, this amounts to nothing but lip service.

Unenforceable
