Yet, minorities who are crime victims are protected! Weren’t they already? This ordinance isn’t really necessary, as the Minneapolis police force, like all police forces everywhere, was already dedicated to protecting all victims of crime. This ordinance is designed to protect “immigrants who are crime victims but may fear deportation by going to police.” So it is telling people who are here in the U.S. illegally that they have nothing to worry about in Minneapolis: authorities will not enforce the law regarding them, and will allow them to stay in the country despite being here illegally.
So the city of Minneapolis is flouting the law and encouraging people to break laws. This is the left in power.
“Minneapolis ordinance would protect immigrant crime victims,” Associated Press, December 16, 2017 (thanks to Nancy):

The City of Minneapolis has passed an ordinance protecting immigrants who are crime victims but may fear deportation by going to police.
The ordinance passed by the City Council on Wednesday would give immigrants protection from deportation if they help prosecute the crime.
Police Chief Medaria Arrandondo said it allows the crime to be documented but hits the pause button on any possible deportation.
Officials say it creates a formalized process and timeline to a U visa, which can take nine months to obtain. The U visa is set aside for crime victims who are willing to assist law enforcement.
Gloria Velazquez, from the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee, told KSTP-TV the ordinance will allow crime victims to come out of the shadows and seek protection.

So all they have to do is report a crime that never happened, or accuse someone they don’t like of committing a crime, and the illegal alien is on the path to citizenship or at least a permanent visa. Of course illegals never lie and would never ever think of doing that. What a recipe for disaster.

Not quite as bad as you characterize…it requires more than the reporting of the crime – the victim must help prosecute the crime. This rather vague language comes from the article and it’s doubtful if it is the language in the ordinance verbatim. Hopefully the report of a crime which is a hoax will not lead to prosecution. Many people are not clear on how this works, like all the people who opined that the FBI decided not to prosecute Hilary. It is not the job of the police to prosecute but rather the district attorney’s office. And they will only bring forth an indictment if they feel there is adequate evidence to achieve a conviction – or if the suspect is a political enemy. But I have no doubt this benefit will be extended to illegals beyond the protection outlined in the law.

As for the FBI, they are answerable to the Judicial Committee which was chaired by Conyers, but now worse, by Jerry Nadler, both flaming Communists as documented by Trevor Louden. If they’re directed not to investigate a presidential candidate, then they won’t. It’s corruption all over the place and no end in sight.

You can’t stop a communist influence if you’re answerable to its leaders, who is also in charge of your funding. Then there is the corruption within the department. Once you realize how bad it is, it becomes obvious it can’t be fixed. There is no moral compass. They may think they have one, but if they all through their concepts on a table and looked at how much they had in common, they’d realize that all of them have different concepts of right and wrong.

You are right that there is no moral compass. There is nor moral compass in anything any more. These days up is down and down is up, right is wrong and wrong is right. It has me very confused, so I just have to do my own thing and go by what my moral compass tells me. Guess most of them don’t have any upbringing with one.

The language is vague – will have to see how this is practiced – since we can count on the media to rewrite truth to support the “cause” of their choice. In this case, protect Islam at all cost.
The paymasters in the media are at work.

Its time for US/Israel and other sane countries to deport muslims out. show them the same treatment that they show towards non-muslims.
For first time Israel makes a belated but Long overdue ban on islamonazis http://bit.ly/2uJe4D4
when will US/EU do it ?

No state nor city has any right to grant any immigrant any status, permanent or temporary
The right to determine whether an immigrant could stay rests solely on the Federal Government

Minneapolis has quite of history of liberal, left-wing mayors.
Go back to 1948 for one of them: Hubert Horatio Humphrey.

Yes, they may have been liberal and left wing, but crazy seems to been redefined as without limits.

Well, wasn’t Hubert just “pleased as punch” to be that city’s mayor?

Anyone who deliberately ignores the law they’re sworn to uphold because by doing so it would conflict with their personal or political conscience is unfit to hold that office.
Senior people need to sit up and see what’s going on because this way leads to political and social anarchy.

The only ordinance that the sane people of Minneapolis need, is Ordnance to take out as many of the the third century throwback mudscum/mudslime as they can.

I wonder when Minneapolis will have a law for CITIZENS who are VICTIMS OF CRIME from being charged for laws they may have broken but fear the consequences of their crime by going to police. Never? Left only cares about illegals.

It should be pointed out that anyone who commits a crime against an illegal could commit one against a citizen the next day. While ‘sanctuary cities’ and the like are odious, a law like this actually benefits citizens.

“protect immigrant crime victims”… F that, just ELIMINATE “immigrants”.

Sure, pass the ordinance. Because nothing spells insane liberalism like protecting an illegal activity.
Trump should immediately have the federal gov seize the city of Minneapolis before this disease gets out of hand and infects the rest of the country.

See how one law-breaking leads to another? You are correct. This is how the left (aka communist) behave. They are GODLESS and LAWLESS, yet you people keep voting them in as long as they call themselves DEMONCRAPS.

Sounds like a path to citizenship. Fake U visas. So Minneapolis is setting federal law. Why do we need a president, then? The civil war using lawyers is underway. Sounds like
the supreme court is going to be real busy
