I hope every state does this, not sure what Trump’s reaction will be but also hope anti-immigration people don’t take law into own hands.
- not sure what Trump’s reaction will be
  probably remove funding on random stuff
  
  Tariffs! Mor Terriiiffffssssss!
  
  California pays more in taxes than they use federal funding. Going after their pocketbook will only hurt the feds
  
  Tarrifs on California
- Uh, what? You try to kidnap my family and i am 100% taking the law into my own hands, immedietely.
  
  Pop pop, pigiggity pop pop. I don’t give a fuck if you a motherfucking cop.
  -Natas
  
  Not talking about response to kidnapping, talking about the Pro-Maga response to cooperation with ICE being stopped by local governments.
- I keep telling people since before the election, one of the final steps in Project 2025 before completely destroying democracy is issuing Martial Law.
How is it not blatantly clear that Trump is there to wreck the economy and create civil chaos? Trump is the best thing that could have happened for Putin
- Putin has never invaded LA. Trump has.
  
  Same picture
  
  Trump is just Putin's muscle.
Can all us blue states terminate our contract with our federal government? Fuckers are worthless. Worse than worthless they are a drain.
Let those worthless shit holes try to support themselves without blue states handouts.
- I would gladly pay higher state taxes to not have to pay federal taxes right now.
  
  One million percent agree. Would gladly vote for anyone running on this platform.
  
  Make it income tax rather than sales tax, and I'm in. I live in a state that sends more to the federal government than we get back, so this would likely be a lower overall tax amount for me.
Why does any blue state have a contract with ICE?
- Why wouldn't they? Trump's border czar and Project 2025 contributor Tom Homan was literally an Obama pick to run ICE.
- Not sure about the outcome but the intent seemed to be to get ICE to play ball and hold people locally where they could get help and see family. Now ICE will have to take their ball (innocent people) and bring it back home (El Salvador)
- Biden prided himself in having more deportations than Trump during his first term.
  Both US parties are racist and classist af. The Dems just coat it with more pretense
- My guess would be bribery.
- The headline says contract, the article says partnership.
by shooting them in the face, or the lame way?
the decision to end the agreement DHS and ICE was “not made lightly.”
What the fuck even is grammar
- I bet "end the agreement with DHS and ICE" is what they were going for. Fire the editor.
- What the fuck even is reading comprehension
  said in a statement on Sunday that the decision to end the agreement DHS and ICE was “not made lightly.”
  
  Yeah they still accidentallied a word - bolding that changes nothing
  
  I can comprehend fine, that's why that sentence doesn't make sense.
  Yes, I know what they're talking about based on context and actually reading the article, but I feel like being a pedantic fuck right now because I hate this country and everything about it.
  "The City of Glendale in Los Angeles County said in a statement on Sunday that the decision to end the agreement DHS and ICE was “not made lightly.”"
  They just threw in "DHS and ICE" without any forethought into how it will work grammatically with the existing sentence structure. It's piss-poor grammar. And it pisses me the fuck off.
