Seattle's mayor, Bruce Harrell, has taken a troubling step by aligning his administration with radical elements such as Antifa, undermining law enforcement efforts and creating a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants.
On Wednesday, Harrell signed two executive orders in direct response to federal immigration policies endorsed by the Trump administration.
The first order sets the stage for local law enforcement to resist any federal intervention by providing a guideline for how police should operate in the event of such an occurrence.
Harrell asserts that Seattle police will not “enable” federal actions aimed at removing illegal immigrants from the city.
His second executive order explicitly protects the criminal illegal immigrant community and restricts law enforcement from using face masks, making sure they are identifiable.
This push to protect those who have entered the country unlawfully reflects a broader trend among Democratic leaders who have abandoned the principles of law and order, favoring instead the protection of illegal immigrants.
By branding these measures as “support for First Amendment activities,” Harrell attempts to cloak his actions in the guise of protecting civil liberties.
In reality, these initiatives act as a message of defiance against federal authorities, emboldening those who violate our nation’s immigration laws.
Experts warn that such lax policies will only exacerbate the ongoing crisis of illegal immigration, particularly under an administration that has rolled out the welcome mat to those entering the country unlawfully.
At a time when President Trump emphasizes the need to secure our borders and enforce immigration laws, Harrell’s actions serve to undermine these objectives.
As more cities adopt similar measures, the question remains whether law and order will continue to hold sway, or if America will descend into further chaos driven by left-wing ideologies.
The implications of such policies extend beyond Seattle, posing a real threat to the safety and security of all citizens as Democratic leaders seek to shield illegal immigrants at all costs.
