| There is no sanctuary from Trump administration buffoonery.
|
| On May 29, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem released
| a "comprehensive list of sanctuary jurisdictions." She was
| "exposing these sanctuary politicians" because they are
| "endangering Americans and our law enforcement in order to
| protect violent criminal illegal aliens."
|
| But it immediately became that the list of more than 500
| states, counties and cities was riddled with errors:
| misspellings, cities and counties mistaken for each other,
| and places that don't exist. Cincinnati became
| "Cincinnatti," Campbell County (Kentucky) became "Cambell"
| County, Greeley County (Nebraska) became "Greenley" County,
| Takoma Park (Maryland) became "Tacoma" Park, while
| "Martinsville County" (Virginia) was invented. And so on.
|
| Worse, scores of the "sanctuary politicians" she called out
| turned out to be leaders of MAGA counties and towns with no
| sanctuary policies on their books. Complaints poured in
| from Trump allies across the country. "You don't have that
| many mistakes on such an important federal document," said
| Pat Burns, the Trump-backing mayor of the right-wing
| stronghold of Huntington Beach, California, mislabeled as a
| sanctuary city. He told the Associated Press that
| "somebody's got to answer" for this "negligent" behavior.
