Vote Out Your Pro-Ethnic Cleansing Politicians
By 
An elected sheriff is more of a politician cosplaying as a cop than a cop. Which means that you can have a go at them if they are assholes. A lot of these people love ICE and all the violence and ethnic cleansing involved. That included the sheriff of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. So the voters did what you do–they voted the asshole out.
A Philadelphia-area sheriff was ousted last week after facing criticism from his Democratic opponent and rights groups over a partnership he forged with federal immigration authorities.
Fred Harran, the Republican sheriff of Bucks County, signed up in April for the United States’ Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 287(g) program, which delegates some federal immigration responsibilities to local law enforcement departments.
Under the agreement, some Bucks County deputies can “enforce limited immigration authority while performing routine police duties, such as identifying an alien at a DUI checkpoint and sharing information directly with ICE,” according to an ICE webpage describing the program.
Out of three models, Harran chose the one that grants the most authority to local deputies.
Hundreds of local law enforcement agencies across the country, including five other Pennsylvania sheriff’s offices, have chosen to participate in that model, called the Task Force Model. The other models allow local agencies to deal only with suspected undocumented immigrants already in custody or facing criminal charges.
Seventeen law enforcement officers in Bucks County received ICE training as part of the agreement, according to Harran.
The opponent ran directly on this issue:
In an interview with ABC News, Ceisler called it “the biggest issue in the race, with or without me.”
“I think people understood – and I tried to make the case – that this was a race being watched by law enforcement all over the country, because this was the swing district in the swing state, and this was the first referendum on not only ICE, but specifically local law enforcement partnering with ICE,” Ceisler said.
“Elected sheriffs all over the country were going to see, did the guy who backed ICE and went out on a limb for Trump win reelection because of it or lose reelection because of it? So I felt the stakes of the race, and I felt tremendous responsibility to run an effective campaign and win to send a message to sheriffs all over the country that this is a bad idea.”
Good. And as Bucks County is a very swingy county in a very swingy state and one that moreover swung heavily toward Trump last year, it’s a good sign there as well.
