The articles make the statement that the Mayor and Chief say LMPD isn't in the business of enforcing immigration law. Then they say ICE merely asked LMPD to serve state warrants, arrest for state charges, or enforce state traffic law. That's not enforcing immigration law. Conrad can't make a policy exception just for illegal immigrants if he wants to tell officers to cease arresting for certain offenses. It's unconstitutional to say a class of people are exempt from criminal laws.

While the Mayor can always put him in the hotseat, there's very little they can do to officers to back up their big talk in the newspaper. I'd like to see PSU try to charge a violation of policy. They'd lose at the merit board like they so often do with their bogus charges.
