A federal appeals court has ruled that a King County, Washington, order barring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using a Seattle-area airport to deport illegal immigrants from the country is unlawful, affirming a lower court’s summary judgment and clearing the way for the removals to continue.
Judge Daniel A. Bress of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit wrote in the Nov. 29 opinion that a 2019 executive order issued by King County Executive Dow Constantine that prohibited the ICE deportation flights was unlawful. The ruling identified two primary legal violations: discrimination against federal operations under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution and breach of a World War II-era Instrument of Transfer agreement governing the airport’s use.
Bress wrote that the executive order’s flight ban “discriminatorily burdens the United States” in the enforcement of federal immigration law and that this “discrimination, plain on the face of the Order, contravenes the intergovernmental immunity doctrine.” Rooted in the Supremacy Clause, the intergovernmental immunity doctrine protects federal government operations from discriminatory or obstructive actions by state and local governments.

I'm shocked, shocked I say, to find out King County would do this. Oh no, wait. It was acid reflux.

GOD How I Love Being A North American, Better Than Everyone Else.
Far More Educated & Intelligent; How Would This World Do Without Us?
You Know, Good Christian People ~ But We Just Don't Give A Sh*t About Anyone Except Ourselves.
We ARE Our Brothers Keepers, Because They're North Americans Too.

LTC Stephen C. Dang... that would leave a mark on anyone.
A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney We got it. You dislike officers to the point of hatred. Good for you. You miswrite rank when posting to make things comical. At least that's how I take most of what you write. and personally, I dont care about rank any more as I'm just coming here to read about others service and to meet folks I never got the chance to meet in person. I also come here now to be a fun thorn in most everyone's side. That said, I know see at times it's a passive-aggressive thing for you.
I've been junior enlisted, NCO, and retired as an officer. I went from fresh-faced to grizzled in what felt like a blink of an eye but was actually just over decades.
Could I talk about all the enlisted guys I worked in a civilian setting who got let go for being unable to do a job. Oh sure, they talked a good game, but in the end that's all it was. Should I talk about them being hired as correctional officer(s) and then getting walked out, or arrested, because of lying on their application, bringing in contraband, or better yet, having relationships, including sex, with inmates? Why I sure could, buy I dont.
Where we are different is you see every officer through the lens you want, and it appears that lens is distorted.
I won't speak for LTC Curlee, but I see things different from you. I see everyone as an individual first and I dont hate them because of their rank, status, job, or economic status. Now I do see them as dumbasses when they do dumb things, but I dont see them like that all the time.
There's only one person I see as a dumbass every day. That's me.

Trump Supporter Right? I Ask Because Of Your Use Of The Word "Hate". ~It SUCKS~
Trumper's Use It Straight Out Of Trumps List Of Vocabulary Words To Insert Any Time They Have A Disagreement.~ I Can't Be In A Disagreement Unless I "HATE" The One I Disagree With; And I've ONLY "HATED" 1 Person In My Life, But He Seemed To Have Disappeared And I Have Do Idea Where He Went.. But That Was Decades Ago,.
I Don't "HATE Officers, I Disliked A Couple Because The Were Incompetent And Didn't Seem To Know Their Job Well Enough To Be In Charge Of The Department In Which They We Supposed Be Leaders. ~ Their SGT'S Knew Far More Than They And Their C.O. Charge Followed The Sargent's Lead. ~~ Same As In Business Also. It's Not All That Uncommon. I Had A Couple CO's Whom Were Terrific: But The One I Remember In Particular Was My First One ~~ Major Calvin L. Collier, A Terrific Person, Great CO And Very Intelligent, And An Author Of Several Books Whom Just Recently Passed Away~~~

Many thanks for chiming in, LTC Trent Klug! I always appreciate your comments.
However, it should now be abundantly clear to you, me and the entire RP community, that meaningful dialogue with A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney, appears to be impossible. My conclusion is easily supported by an even casual review of this entire thread!
Whether he’s being purposefully obtuse or is simply incapable of speaking to the point and responding appropriately is not for me to say. Some of his comments are patronizing to RP members, and his rants about his educational background, career experiences and other subjects seem to be purposeful obfuscations and their irrelevance is not subject to dispute.
This devolved thread is a perfect example.
Initially, A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney begins an obviously patronizing and sarcastic response to Lt Col Charlie Brown’s discussion thread that used North American as the defining term. I replied to him that the appropriate term as used in the court order (which I read) was noncitizen detainees. The term North American does not appear in the court order. Never once in further comments did he ever reply to the initial and only subject: North American vs. noncitizen detainees. What he followed with are rants composed of line after line of commentary that appeared to me to be purely self serving and obviously irrelevant, and provided me with some insight that I can’t imagine that anyone would wish to reveal, and furthermore, I would just rather not know.
