This is really getting old. And turning off a lot of common sense liberals like myself. It's all going to backfire and get Trump elected for four more years in 2020.

The City Council should spend its time and energy on taking care of city business first (parking issues, walkability, housing, etc) rather than showboating and grandstanding.

Superintendent Rudolph should focus on his job (fixing the math curriculum) before he gets involved in this issue. We certainly don't need undocumented students who also don't know basic math.

Chief Bosel says his "officers don't enforce immigration law as part of standard protocol unless an undocumented suspect is convicted of a crime". Wow! How is that any different from what President Trump, and even Obama before him, have suggested?

Elected officials and public employees not willing to follow the laws of the country should simply resign and look for work elsewhere if they have such a problem with Trump. No one is holding their feet to the fire. There are plenty of people looking for work and a good paying job in the public sector.

As far as Councilman Siegel not being willing to greet President Trump as he would have Obama... how about showing a little more class? His statement is disgraceful no matter how you look at it.

Me Novak, your headline is misleading and your first sentence about a unified front doesn't really fit. I was at this meeting and I didn't see hear or see that a unified front was being assembled to protect immigrants. I saw a panel that was assembled to just speak on the manner and provide information that it's business as normal. Which is local government doesn't deal with these matters. If the federal government comes in to do a "raid" local government is not involved. They haven't done those types of actions since the 90s and they sure don't have the staffing to deal with those. They have plenty of immigrants that have criminal records to chase down then to deal with those type of round ups.

Anyone who follows your posting here will find your claim to be a "common sense liberal" pretty laughable...

You are wrong, but just keep engaging in ad hominem attacks that contributes nothing to the discussion.

Care to clue us in on what your "common sense liberal" views are, aside from tearing apart families with undocumented immigrants, denying refugees, and wanting lower taxes?
