Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg (D) announced on Tuesday that the Kentucky city will begin complying with the Trump administration’s 48-hour immigration detainer requests and, in exchange, the federal government will drop Louisville from its “sanctuary city” list.

Under the new directive, the mayor said, the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections (LMDC) will notify the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at least 48 hours before an inmate with an immigration detainer is scheduled to be released from custody.

The federal government’s 48-hour detainer request is “standard practice” for Kentucky and was followed in Louisville before 2017, when the local policy changed, Greenberg said,. He added that LMDC currently provides DHS with approximately 5-12 hours’ notice before an inmate with an immigration detainer is released.

"I have been assured by the U.S. Department of Justice that, if we reinstate the 48-hour detainers for inmates who’ve been arrested for crimes, Louisville will be taken off the federal sanctuary city list,” Greenberg said in remarks on Tuesday.

Well, as long as you've been assured. I think we can all agree, promises made by the DOJ under Pam Bondi are 100% reliable and trustworthy.

I have been assured by the U.S. Department of Justice that...

Yeah... Good luck with that buddy.

He didn't believe them, just hoping to blame them later on. POS

Democrats like these should be expelled from the party and probably worse

as a Kentuckian

  1. unacceptable
  2. unsurprising for Louisville. always wanting the credit for virtue signaling when everyone else is doing something but doesn't want to put in the real work to make things happen
  3. a possible sign of what else is to come in western kentucky and southern indiana

This stuck out to me, and I didn't see it from this post or a comment:

Greenberg said the city stood to lose “hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants” with the “sanctuary city” designation. Those funds provide food, rental assistance and medical care to “our most vulnerable residents,” he said, adding, “I will not risk hurting them either.”

This was also interesting:

“This should set an example to other cities. Instead of forcing us to sue you — which we will, without hesitation — follow the law, get rid of sanctuary policies, and work with us to fix the illegal immigration crisis.”

“We do not want to see highly coordinated and often violent federal enforcement action here, especially in workplaces, residential areas, schools, places of worship, parks, and other areas where law-abiding people gather. We do not want the National Guard occupying the streets of Louisville. I will not risk the safety of our broader immigrant community,” Greenberg said.

Yeah several others jurisdictions have joined in a lawsuit against Trump. Rather than join that lawsuit, he is choosing to bow down to the king

What a shithole country.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I'm sure he's safe and the nazis won't demand any more treason from either him or the city in the future.

Say no, you fucking pussy.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Chicken shit. Bock Bock Bock buccaw!

Absolute horseshit. They're not doing mass ICE raids in Louisville because they wouldn't hit their fascist ass quota like they do by pouring those resources into LA. It's been planitively obvious for anybody paying attention that they will deport ANYBODY they can get their hands on.

But go ahead, preemptively do the federal governments work for them with your budget and see where that gets you.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Not just that, but VISIBILITY. Trump absolutely fucking LOVES seeing shit he's done or doing in the mainstream media. Nobody from Fox or NewsMax is gonna pay attention to Louisville. LA is sexier because it's their chosen symbol to represent the GOP's enemy.

Oh Kentucky, you slimey yokels, never change.
