The best way to "help" ICE is to tell them you know nothing or no one. Or that you can't recall any info.

Good people make sacrifices to fend off fascism.

This is how San Francisco became a "sanctuary city". They could not afford to assist ICE and keep the residents safe with the police force they had. They simply refused to help them.

This guy would advocate snitching on Anne Frank.

I'm not starting down this slippery slope. I don't want my neighbors in detention camps, I don't want their due process trampled on, I don't give a fuck if they're undocumented (though history and contemporary reports both show that people who are perfectly legal get swept up in these things) . Raise my taxes, add a local sales tax, whatever, if state and federal jerks want to round up entire classes of people. It's wrong and I want nothing to do with it.

What profit is it to a city, to maintain 15 million dollars and lose its soul

The ONLY THING I can think of when I see this… is how easily he will be able to reissue this same rhetoric when they make LGBTQ people illegal and tell you to start policing your neighbors. Then poc.

… must follow law or become a target. Keep following the moving bigotry laws.

“How do horrible things happen while people just stand around?” Just look at this limpdick response. For someone whose whole schtick is about being a lifelong Iowa City resident, he really seems to be so out of touch from the pulse of this town and its values. Iowa City residents don’t support ICE tearing apart families and ripping friends and members of their community out and banishing them.

Convinced this guy just ran cause he had nothing better to do. His whole gimmick is essentially “I think both sides have a point and need to get along!”. Might as well just concede after this post.. what a joke.

If you ever encounter one of these immigration pigs in the wild, just keep your fucking mouth shut, especially if you are undocumented. You are not going to get anything for cooperation, make them work for it. If you can slow them down by wasting their time, do it. It might not help you, but it may help someone else.

This is one of the most cowardly and worthless things I've ever read. The people ICE is coming for are just as much a part of the community as any of us.

Whatever he's going to do to protect queer people or pregnant women or anyone else you care about when their number is called is what he's doing right now- scolding and pissing his pants

“Cooperate” has such a broad definition in Nusser’s public statement. The Iowa Code looks more limited. How far would Nusser cooperate?
