By suing Mesa County DeputySheriffAlexander Zwink for sharing information about anillegalalienwith federal authorities,ColoradoAttorney General Phil Weiser is blatantly violating federal law.The Justice Department has already filed alawsuitto go after the state law he was enforcing, which violates a specific provision of federal immigration lawandthe U.S. Constitution.Notonly should that state law be declared nullandvoid by a federal court, but the twoColoradodeputiesandtheir supervisors whove been disciplined for this should be immediately reinstatedandcommended for their work.All of this arises out of Zwinkscooperationwith federal immigration agents as part of a drug task force. Zwink pulled over a Brazilian college student in a traffic stop.AMERICAS CRIME DROP ISNT A COINCIDENCE. TRUMPS IMMIGRATION POLICIES ARE WORKINGShortly thereafter, she was arrestedanddetained by federal authorities because Zwink had "shared her locationanda description of herandher vehicle in a group chat that included ICE agents." An "internal investigation" showed that another deputysheriffwho was involved in the task force had also horror of horrors "shared immigration information with federal agents."OMG! What a crime! What a dastardly deed! Local law enforcement cooperatingandsharing information aboutillegalaliens with the federal authorities responsible for enforcing federal immigration laws!The two deputies have been removed from the task force by Mesa CountySheriffTodd Rowellanddisciplined along with two supervisors,anda third supervisor who "received counseling" for these unimagined "crimes."TRUMP COULD SECURE HIS PLACE IN AMERICAN HISTORY WITH THIS BOLD IMMIGRATION REFORM STRATEGYAll of this is the result of aColoradostate lawsigned by pro-illegalimmigration Gov. Jared Polls that prohibits all government officials inColorado, including law enforcement agents, from sharing any information about anyaliens with federal immigration authorities.The problem with that state law among many others, including its effectonpublic safety is that it directly violates federal law.8 U.S.C. 1373specifically prohibits stateandlocal governments from in any way restricting "any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from," the Department of Homeland Security, "information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual." Moreover, this federal statute also specifies that states cannot prohibit or restrict "exchanging such information with any other Federal, State, or local government entity."This is not a complicated federal law that is hard to understand. States likeColoradocannot prevent deputysheriffs like Alexander Zwink from doing exactly what he did: share information with federal authorities about analien.TRUMP'S BORDER ENFORCEMENT UNLEASHES NEW WEAPON AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATIONPerhapsWeisers law school didnt include a courseonConstitutional Law 101? If he had taken such a course, he would have learned about thesupremacy clause, which provides that the "Constitution,andthe Laws of the United States shall be the supreme Law of the Land;andthe Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."Colorados law is a foolish, blatant violation of federal immigration lawanda clearandobvious violation of the supremacy clause. Any actions taken to discipline or otherwise punish local law enforcement officers for violating this reckless state statute are unlawfulanda violation of the officers rights.Its not just thatColorados sanctuary law violates federal law. It is reckless, because it intentionally allows criminalillegalaliens to remain in communities throughout the state.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONA horrible example of this is Luis Gusman-Rincon, a gang member whoenteredthe U.S.illegallyandwas convicted of attempted manslaughter in Arapahoe County,Colorado, after he shotandparalyzed a 16-year-old girl. He should have been handed over to ICE authorities so they could remove this dangerous criminal from the country after he had served his sentence. Instead, due to the states sanctuary policies, this gangster roamed the state for five years before ICE finally caught him.Or talk to the residents ofColoradoSpringsandAurora,where Colorados irresponsibleandrash policies have led to an infestation ofillegalgang members who areterrorizinglocal residents.It really is hard to overemphasize just how stupid it is for a state to go after its law enforcement officials for assisting the federal government in removingillegalaliens, many of whom are dangerous criminals, from the country.Hopefully, the Justice Department will succeed in its lawsuit against a state government that is, it seems, led by thoughtless politicians.Law enforcement agents like Alexander Zwinkandhis colleagues should be hailed as the type of professionals we want serving as police officers throughout the nation, not disciplinedandharassed for complying with a federal law designed to keep us safe.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM HANS VON SPAKOVSKY
