King County Executive Dow Constantine has chosen to violate federal law — through mafia tactics. You may remember that a couple of weeks ago, he announced he would not let ICE use King County International Airport, more commonly known as Boeing Field, to deport illegal immigrants.

Over the last 10 years, we have deported 34,000 illegal immigrants out of Boeing Field. These were illegal immigrants who had gone before a judge — some were rapists, murderers, and sex traffickers.

Why would Dow Constantine want to keep rapists, murderers, and child molesters in our region? Because they were illegal immigrants. That is more noble than whatever crimes they’ve committed.

Dan Springer on Fox News broke the story that the feds have now told King County and Dow Constantine that they are in violation of federal law.

The airport, which was deeded to the county by the federal government in the 1940s, gets tens of millions in federal grants every year; part of the deal there is that you can’t discriminate against the federal government.

In a bit of thuggery, Dow Constantine has told private contractors that if they fuel or service those ICE planes, they will lose county contracts.

This is mafia-type stuff by Dow the don.

The private companies are too afraid to service the ICE flights. So now, instead of a 40-minute bus trip from the federal detention center in Tacoma to Boeing Field, these handcuffed illegal immigrants have to sit on a bus for three hours to Yakima, where they are then put on a plane. It costs taxpayers a fortune more.

Dow Constantine won’t talk to the media — he is a coward. Boeing Field CEO John Perrott backed out of his interview with Springer, which is also cowardly and really too bad. I cannot possibly imagine what the other side’s defense would be of this. I would love to know from these guys how we can justify this.
