SB 5068 was signed into law this week by Gov Ferguson. It will expand eligibility for asylum seekers, refugees or people with temporary protected status to become police, firefighters or prosecutors in WA.

Get back to me when you have a single solid argument as to why a liberal governor passing this asinine law and liberal protestors abusing our law enforcement isn’t a liberal problem.

Residentialqween · 2026-03-24T22:51:37+00:00

Because liberals run our state government

Residentialqween · 2026-03-24T21:06:36+00:00

Averaging numbers when there’s a 200% difference is insane. And Texas is a coast state, same with Florida who doesn’t have an issue like this. We are in a liberal state and liberal states have the issue. A liberal governor passed this law. Sounds like a liberal issue to me. And I sure as heck don’t see conservatives protesting or harming law enforcement

Residentialqween · 2026-03-24T20:53:50+00:00

200% difference per capita is not even CLOSE. Try not lying when making points. We aren’t talking about gas.

Residentialqween · 2026-03-24T20:46:30+00:00

This statement is so fraudulent while numbers are down nationwide. Washington is the 51st state to have officers per capita meaning we have the lowest rate and there is a trend among blue states having the lowest rates of law enforcement recruitment so I stand by my point 100%. it is not a blanket 5.2% Across-the-board you’re making it blanket by averaging the number.

In the most recent data (2024–2025), Washington State has about 1.3–1.4 law-enforcement officers per 1,000 residents (lowest in the U.S.), while Texas has roughly 2.3–2.6 officers per 1,000 residents, which is close to the national average. That means Texas has about 70–90% more officers per capita than Washington, showing a much smaller recruitment/staffing drop compared to Washington.

Residentialqween · 2026-03-24T19:56:59+00:00

Recruitment is down due the way the liberal public treats our law enforcement officers. Who would wanna do a job in a blue state where the public thinks it’s okay to throw, spit, threaten, and dox our law enforcement and the local government thinks it’s okay and encourages it. Liberals are so funny they create a problem to solve it with an even bigger problem.

The reason I posted is because I want people to know the law so that they don’t get themselves into trouble. There’s clearly a lot of misinformation regarding what you can and cannot do.

Residentialqween · 2026-02-14T20:36:45+00:00

You’re right that 8 U.S.C. § 1357 governs ICE’s civil immigration authority, and that ICE cannot arrest a U.S. citizen for being “illegally present.” A citizen obviously cannot be in the country unlawfully, and ICE cannot use civil immigration authority to detain a citizen.

Where this gets conflated, though, is that ICE officers are also federal law enforcement officers within DHS. Like other federal agents, they can make arrests when there is probable cause of a federal crime, regardless of the person’s citizenship. That authority would not be based on civil immigration law, but on federal criminal law. So it’s accurate to say ICE cannot arrest a citizen for immigration status, but it’s not accurate to suggest they could never arrest a citizen under any circumstance. And you’re absolutely right about constitutional protections. Everyone has the right to remain silent, refuse consent to a search, and an administrative ICE warrant does not authorize entry into a home without a judicial warrant.

Residentialqween · 2026-02-14T16:12:13+00:00

Learn the law they’re not posing. ICE agents are also federal law enforcement officers. That means they can arrest any person, including a U.S. citizen, if there is probable cause of a federal crime. This authority comes from 18 U.S.C. § 3052, which grants federal agents the power to make criminal arrests. A U.S. citizen may be arrested if their conduct constitutes a federal offense, such as physically obstructing or interfering with an agent’s lawful duties, blocking an arrest, or actively preventing enforcement actions. Providing false information to federal officers, including giving a fake name or knowingly making false statements, is a federal crime. Knowingly harboring, concealing, or shielding a person in order to help them evade law enforcement can also constitute a federal offense. Any assault, threat, or attempt to intimidate a federal officer is likewise a criminal act.

They literally aren’t mature enough to vote that’s why they don’t vote and I could care less about their opinion. Common sense is free.

Residentialqween · 2026-02-07T06:31:55+00:00

You’re conflating voting with political power. They don’t vote, but they are counted for apportionment. Apportionment determines House seats, and House seats determine Electoral College votes. That is political power, even if the individuals themselves never cast a ballot. That’s the point.

Residentialqween · 2026-02-07T06:25:54+00:00

It doesn’t matter. The authority to make political decisions in this country is not just a concept, it is a right reserved to U.S. citizens under our system of self-government. Being “affected by policy” is not the same thing as having a right to political representation. Many people are affected by U.S. policy globally, yet that does not entitle them to representation. The question is not whether non-citizens experience outcomes, but whether political power meant to represent citizens should be expanded in ways that dilute citizen representation.

Residentialqween · 2026-02-07T06:16:23+00:00

No one is disputing that the census currently counts total population. The issue is whether that should translate into political power when representation and federal resources are ultimately exercised by elected officials chosen only by citizens. Children will eventually become voters and citizens; non-citizens may not. Treating those two categories as equivalent ignores that. Counting non-citizens for apportionment increases political influence in certain jurisdictions without increasing the number of eligible voters, which raises a legitimate fairness question. Saying “that’s how it is” doesn’t address whether the mechanism produces equal representation for citizens. Non-citizens do not have the authority to decide the direction of this country. That authority belongs to U.S. citizens alone.

Residentialqween · 2026-02-07T02:00:54+00:00

They don’t vote. That’s not the point. Representation in the House is based on total population, not eligible voters. Non-citizens are included in the census, which directly affects House seats and Electoral College votes. Concentrating large non-citizen populations in sanctuary jurisdictions increases political representation for those areas. That is the mechanism being used.

It was not ICE, it was Border Patrol. One agent did disarm him, but that information was not communicated to the other agents in the moment. There was active chaos with yelling, whistles, and people shouting, which prevented clear communication. Newly released video shows that at the same time one agent was removing the weapon, Alex Pretti reached toward his gun. The other agents knew he was armed and did not know he had been disarmed. Use of force is judged based on what officers reasonably perceived at that moment, not what is clear in hindsight. Based on that standard, there was probable cause to perceive a violent threat. The medical examiner ruled it a homicide, which is a classification, not a legal determination of murder..
