Kentucky leaders deny not upholding federal immigration laws
FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX 56) — Hundreds of cities and counties across the nation are considered to be sanctuary jurisdictions. According to the Department of Homeland Security, that means they are not in compliance with immigration laws. Scott County is one of five jurisdictions in Kentucky, along with Franklin, Campbell, Jefferson counties and Louisville. Kentucky leaders deny not upholding federal immigration laws Long-time Kentucky Democrat switching parties ACLU of Kentucky dismisses lawsuit challenging Kentucky abortion laws Scott County leaders said it being on the list is false information. 'The fiscal court has never passed any resolution, any regulation, or ordinance that would not support the federal government's work,' Judge Executive Joe Pat Covington said. Covington said the county is compliant and cooperative with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE]. When he was made aware that his county is on the list, Covington said he spoke to DHS officials in Louisville, who also confirmed it is a mistake. 'I can confirm, after conversations with DHS officials in Louisville today, that information is incorrect, and DHS officials are working to correct that status with their colleagues in Washington, D.C.,' Covington said. He added, It's important to share accurate information and facts that are related to the Scott County community. Kentucky's most misspelled word, according to study Drug overdoses see major decline: How Kentucky measures up UFO sightings in Kentucky: A look back on past 30 years 'Regards to the ICE detainers, we honor the ICE detainers. If their officers show up at our facility and they want to interview an individual, we give them access to those individuals; we do nothing to end up on this list,' Derran Broyles, Scott County Jailer, said. 'The list below was created to identify sanctuary jurisdictions, which are determined by factors like compliance with federal law enforcement, information restrictions, and legal protections for illegal aliens. Each jurisdiction listed will receive formal notification of its non-compliance with Federal statutes. DHS demands that these jurisdictions immediately review and revise their policies to align with Federal immigration laws and renew their obligation to protect American citizens, not dangerous illegal aliens.' Department of Homeland Security said in a press release 'What we're currently doing, if they are then released [inmates] on local charges but still have ICE holders, is jailer Broyles has worked with Oldham County, with whom we have a contract, and they're sent there,' Cam Culbertson, Scott County attorney, said. Prior to this information being released, Covington said the county had never been notified that it could potentially be violating federal immigration policies. Kentucky leaders deny not upholding federal immigration laws Long-time Kentucky Democrat switching parties O'Leary bashes Trump's 'stupid' Harvard foreign student crackdown 'We support the rule of law, period, and it's important that our community knows where we stand and that we stand together,' Covington added.

Why Trump's panic over one trans kid among 1,500 CIF track and field athletes is fake news
Fortunately, the high school transgender athlete competing in the girls' jumping events at the CIF State Track & Field Championships over the weekend in Clovis is not a javelin thrower. Had she been, Donald Trump would have spent last week alarming his followers with ghastly tales of innocent bystanders impaled by the mighty, errant javelin heaves of the teen. When Trump goes on a crusade, all truth, reason and perspective saunter out for a smoke break. When he objected to a San Jose State trans volleyball player, Trump told wild — and wildly untrue — tales of opponents suffering injuries from 80 mph spikes of said Spartan. You can't injure opponents by jumping into a sand pit or high-jumping onto a big air mattress, but from Trump's level of alarm and outrage, you might have thought that the SoCal teenager was planning to compete with a nuclear bomb strapped to her back. Trump has signed an executive order banning trans athletes from competing in girls' and women's sports. When California didn't jump to comply on something that does not, after all, have the force of law, he opened up a can of blowhard. 'Please be hereby advised,' Trump trumpeted on social media, 'that large scale Federal Funding will be held back (from California), maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to… I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!' The high schooler in question did compete Friday in the preliminaries of her three jumping events, and qualified to compete in Saturday's finals. Look, this is an issue, at least insofar as people have been told that's the case by Trump and his cronies. Seven of ten American adults, according to one poll, say they are opposed to transgender athletes competing in girls' and women's sports. But had a poll been taken before Trump made this a moral crusade, 10 out of 10 adults would have had no idea that this was even a thing, let alone a national crisis. I understand the concept of a 'slippery slope,' but fears of any wholesale invasion and destruction of female sports by trans athletes seems to be not a thing that is happening or ever going to happen. The CIF serves 835,000 California high school athletes, and the CIF has long let trans girls to participate in girls' sports, since 2013 statewide, in some school districts 20 years or more. It was never a problem before Trump. There were 1,533 athletes, boys and girls, competing at the state meet in Clovis. Only one of them was a trans person competing in girls' events. The San Jose State volleyball controversy, remember, was about one athlete among tens of thousands of competitors just in her sport. On a middling team in a second-tier conference. As one of less than 10 trans athletes among more than 500,000 college student-athletes. Trump sees one tortoise creeping out onto the highway and calls it a stampede. The state track meet was such a colossal crisis that about a dozen protestors showed up outside the event. One airplane towed a banner. It was, as Trump might say, a protest like nothing we've ever seen before. It would be cool to be able to write that California and the CIF stood their moral and legal ground and told Trump to pound sand, which conveniently can be found in the jumping pits. Instead, the CIF took a stab at appeasing Trump by cobbling together a new rule. The trans girl could compete, but an extra girl would be allowed into the competition, so that no girl would be 'deprived' of a shot at glory by the lone trans competitor. Any medals or places the trans athlete earned would be shared with the competitor who finished just behind her. Never mind that this 'solution' won't work in any other sport, and that it works — sort of, awkwardly — only in the 'field' half of track & field. The effort, no doubt, was genuine. Recognize that many now see this as a problem, and seek areas of compromise. Buy time for civilized discourse and discussion. Yeah, no. The CIF and the state are dealing with a man who is open to discussion and debate, as long as it ends quickly in supplication, followed by tearful gratitude. Not that it matters. Had the CIF and the state and all those 'local authorities' yielded to Trump and kicked one trans athlete out of the state meet, another villain would have been quickly targeted. The trans athlete 'issue' was never a legitimate crisis, it was a convenient club used by a bully to beat California into submission, to further demonize the heathen state. Maybe the way out of this situation would have been for her parents to buy a couple of tickets to a million-dollars-per-plate Trumpy event. They could have raised the money through GoFundMe or whatever. Then, not only would the athlete in question have been given Trump's blessing to compete, the unprincipled prez would have commissioned a bronze of her for his planned statue garden of athletic heroes. Trump recently issued 60 pardons/commutations — not counting 1,500 or more related to the January 6 insurrection — and at least 10 of those free birds have clear financial or political connections to the Pardoner-in-Chief. Ah, but even if Trump had been briefly distracted from the high school track & field controversy, he quickly would have re-aimed his wack-a-mole club at another random California crime against humanity. The CIF's quick fix will be just that. Eventually, you either bow down in surrender, or stand up for what you believe.

DHS sanctuary list could impact Colorado's federal funding
(COLORADO) — The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released a list of states, cities, and counties that allegedly obstruct the enforcement of Federal immigration laws, and many places in Colorado made the list. The list comes a month after President Trump signed an executive order that would crack down on sanctuary jurisdictions and enforce federal law. The executive order directed both the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to 'pursue all necessary legal remedies and enforcement measures to bring non-compliant jurisdictions into compliance.' Per the executive order, those states that do not comply with federal law could lose funding. According to the sanctuary jurisdiction list, Colorado 'self-identifies as a State Sanctuary Jurisdiction.' In multiple previous statements, Colorado Governor Jared Polis reiterated that Colorado was, in fact, not a sanctuary state. FOX21 News obtained the following statement from Governor Polis on Friday afternoon, May 30: 'Colorado is not a sanctuary state, despite this completely incorrect designation by DHS. I am pleased that, given the lack of specificity provided for how this designation was made, that Aurora, El Paso County, and Weld County have already been removed, and I hope that others – including the state – are soon too. Colorado prioritizes public safety, and local and state law enforcement work closely with federal law enforcement to apprehend criminals, whether they are from this country or not. We cannot comment further as DHS did not provide information as to how the incorrect determination of states, counties, and cities were made but we hope it continues to be fixed.' 'You won't recognize Colorado': State vs. federal law dilemma could impact funding The classification also comes days after Governor Polis signed SB25-276, which would limit law enforcement's ability to detain immigrants and make other changes to Colorado law, such as prohibiting a military force from another state from entering Colorado without the governor's permission, unless acting on federal orders as part of the U.S. armed forces. In a previous press conference, Teller County Commissioner Dan Williams said that the order could put Colorado in danger of losing $18.4 billion in federal funding. Teller County is not listed on the DHS list. Some Southern Colorado counties that were listed as sanctuary counties included Baca, Chaffee, Custer, Huerfano, Kiowa, Las Animas, Otero, Pueblo, and more. Other places listed under Colorado included cities like Boulder, Denver, Lafayette, Lakewood, Longmont, among others. See the full list here. 'DHS demands that these jurisdictions immediately review and revise their policies to align with Federal immigration laws and renew their obligation to protect American citizens, not dangerous illegal aliens,' according to the website. El Paso County appeared on the list early Friday morning; however, it has since been removed. 'We are grateful for the amended designation. The record now reflects the truth: Congressman Crank, Congresswoman Boebert, Sheriff Roybal, and the El Paso County Commissioners are deeply committed to the safety and well-being of the citizens who work, live, worship, and raise their families in the Pikes Peak region. We are working to reverse Colorado's sanctuary laws, and we are fully collaborating with ICE Officials, as state statute allows. Together, we have provided testimony, called attention to the rising crime rate, and fortified El Paso County as an anti-sanctuary. Let us be clear, we will not pander to Denver politicians, whose political agenda has made Colorado less safe for everyone.' Jeff Crank, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Sheriff Joe Roybal, and El Paso County Commissioners Carrie Geitner, Holly Williams, Bill Wysong, Cory Applegate, and Cami Bremer. Pueblo County Commissioners also spoke on the matter: 'Douglas, Garfield and other counties have passed resolutions to be a Non Sanctuary County,' said Commissioner Paula McPheeters. 'Federal law supersedes state law. Governor Polis has repeatedly claimed we are not a sanctuary state. However, we have Denver as an example of what a sanctuary city looks like. My responsibility is to the legal citizens of Pueblo County. We cannot afford to be Denver. We must support our citizens first. We cannot afford to lose current or future federal support. I am not willing to lose millions of dollars Pueblo County needs.' 'Pueblo County is not, and has never been, a sanctuary jurisdiction under the definition outlined in the recent Executive Order. We do not, and will not, protect dangerous individuals from facing legal consequences, and we stand firmly with our law enforcement agencies in keeping our community safe.' 'At the same time, we must reject the false choice between public safety and supporting our immigrant community. Immigrants in Pueblo are our neighbors, our coworkers, and a vital part of our local economy. They play a large part in our proud history and I will continue to stand with immigrants for equal treatment under the law,' said Commissioner Miles Lucero. Commissioner Zach Swearingen declined to comment. According to information listed on the DHS website, the list can be reviewed and changed at any time, and it will be updated regularly.
