Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced that BLM ‘consent decrees’ forced on Louisville and Minneapolis are being scrapped.
That’s a good thing.
All the ‘consent decrees’ should be scrapped. Period.
Consent decrees have been a tool used by the DOJ to seize power over local areas. They’re a form of unconstitutional intimidation subjuecting localities to extended and sometimes permanent federal government oversight sometimes based on one-time events, events long in the past or individual incidents for which the pattern was invented out of whole cloth using critical race theory concepts like ‘systemic racism’.
The federal government should not be displacing local governments. And if there are to be any consent decrees, they should be directed at departments and areas that illegally thwarted and conspired to block federal law enforcement through ‘sanctuary’ programs for illegal aliens.
Yeah why hasn’t the Trump administration taken a chapter from that malignancy holder? The communist skidmark who pimped lies and manipulated state control of police depts with corrupt power grabs?
Yeah, saw a lot of those instigated in the SF Bay Area by the leftists, doing a great deal of harm.
Decades ago I saw uncontested consent degrees as a gimmick for local government to surrender authority to do what it wants to do. I also saw federal judges seizing control of cities as dubious constitutionally. That was based on a judge ordering a mayor to do what was ordered or be held in contempt. That suggested the judge did not have the authority to give the order directly. That made no sense to me. An example of such was after a housing ruling regarding Yonkers, NY.
