Via Wicked Local:

Under an executive order from Mayor Joe Curtatone, Somerville will no longer fully participate in a federal immigrant detention program.

Curtatone announced the order at a press conference in front of City Hall May 21 and promised to sign it Thursday night. Somerville is the first community in Massachusetts to limit participation in the program.

Based on the TRUST Act bill before the Massachusetts state legislature and a corresponding ordinance of Cook County, Il., the order requires Somerville law enforcers not to detain immigrants without an unrelated and legitimate law enforcement purpose, or a criminal warrant in the hands of federal Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Under the Secure Communities program, ICE can ask local law enforcement to hold arrested immigrants for up to 48 hours after the person has posted bail or been ordered released by the courts, giving ICE the opportunity to investigate their citizenship

“Let me make this clear: We are not going to violate the Constitutional right of due process,” Curtatone said May 21. “We’re not going to waste our time and resources on people who are valuable contributing members of our community, who have played by the rules, only to find there’s no line to get into to become a citizen.” [...]

ICE detainers that happen without probable cause is moral, responsible and just common sense.

“These are our neighbors and they should not be afraid to report a crime or afraid that they could be separated from their families and deported simply because they get stopped for having a broken tail light,” Curtatone said. He added, “We can’t keep our communities safe unless we have the full cooperation of the full community.”

Great, maybe a few of them will leave Southern California.

(Before I do, that is.)

“We’re not going to waste our time and resources on people who are valuable contributing members of our community, who have played by the rules

That's really great there, your worship, but if they entered the country illegally was that playing "by the rules"?

Notice how these dems are more and more using executive orders across the country to push their agenda
