The liberty principle for this Freedom Friday concerns New York, lawlessness, and lawfare and their relationship to President Donald Trump. The State of New York is in a world of hurt for several reasons, but all roads lead back to Trump. Jarrett Stepman discussed the connections in his article published at The Daily Signal.
In the four years that Donald Trump was
out of office, no state political establishment besides the Biden White House
did more to persecute the former president through banana republic-style weaponization
of courts.
What’s more, New York became the poster
child of what happens when you abandon Trump’s border policies and turn them on
their heads. New York City, a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state, was
absolutely flooded with illegal aliens under President Joe Biden.
On the one hand lawlessness, on the other
lawfare. Anarcho-tyranny. That’s pretty much the Democrat Party’s modus
operandi.
Now the tables have turned. Trump is back
in the White House and from the flurry of actions he’s taken so far, it looks
like he means business in putting a kibosh on the state’s sanctuary status.
Trump
loves his hometown and home state, New York City, New York. He has made it
obvious that he would like them to become beautiful again. However, neither the
city nor the state will be beautiful again as long as illegal immigrants are
welcomed and lawfare continues. The new U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and the
Department of Justice are taking steps to take care of illegal immigration
problem.
“They have a ‘tip-off’ provision that requires
New York’s DMV commissioner to promptly inform any illegal alien when a federal
immigration agency has requested their information,” Bondi said, according to
ABC News. “It’s tipping off an illegal alien. And it’s unconstitutional, and
that’s why we filed this lawsuit.”
Trump’s Justice Department is also suing
some of New York’s top officials, including Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul and
Attorney General Letitia James.
It should be noted that James was one of
the leaders of the movement in New York to prosecute Trump.
The Trump administration isn’t just suing
New York. It is cutting off federal funds that were used to facilitate illegal
immigration.
Illegal aliens who poured in from Biden’s
open wound at the southern border made their way to New York City en masse.
The influx of illegal aliens transformed the
Big Apple….
Illegal aliens were driving the crime surge
in popular tourist areas like Midtown. Many of them have been involved in
violent gangs.
The now notorious Roosevelt Hotel became a
symbol of the crisis. The hotel, which allegedly received a great deal of money
from the Biden administration through the Federal Emergency Management Agency
[FEMA], became a cesspool of criminality.
The money wasn’t just going to this one
hotel. FEMA was sending tens of millions of dollars to New York so that they
could keep the flow of illegal aliens coming.
This wasn’t just a terrible sanctuary law
hurting locals; it was a money pit costing taxpayers and diverting resources
away from needy Americans….
Strangely enough, Trump may have found a
New York ally in his pursuit of curtailing illegal immigration. New York City
Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat who found himself on the wrong side of the Biden
administration for having qualms about the scale of illegal aliens coming into his
city, has expressed willingness to work with Trump. [Sounds like lawfare to
me.]
The Justice Department recently dropped
bribery charges against Adams. Critics have said this is part of a deal to make
Adams cooperative, though Adams and the White Youse have denied it.
Adams has indicated he will reopen the
shuttered Immigration and Customs Enforcement office at Rikers Island and will
give ICE agents more leeway to do their jobs.
Adams
is correct in working with ICE to remove illegal immigrant criminals from his
city. If New York State authorities continue to battle against Trump and the
Justice Department, they may find themselves trying to operate without federal
funding.
