Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Maura Healey signed a new law on Aug. 5 attempting to block U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from accessing a variety of locations across the state.
Healey described the law, which names schools, daycares, hospitals, health centers, nursing homes, and courthouses as places ICE cannot access, as the strongest legislation in the country against ICE.
The official claimed that children in Chelsea, where she signed the legislation, have not been attending school for fear of ICE encounters, per a report from CBS News.
Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Thereforewhoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for [d]good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a servant of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; [e]respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
So why the fear? Because these people did not do things the correct way but rather jumped the line. And most of those are criminals wanted for other crimes anyway; ICE has made it quite clear they are prioritizing people wanted for other crimes and usually with standing deportation orders.
In other words, most are EVILDOERS and for that the authorities have a duty to remove them.
It is, as the passage points out, what we pay taxes for.
At any rate the Constitution says the following:
Article VI, Clause 2:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
ICE is enforcing the laws of the United States. It cannot be any clearer.
Eventually this will make it to Federal court and it will be overturned, if the Mass. Supreme Court doesn't do so first.
