This is from CT where pardons are issued by a board and not the Governor, same as in Georgia but apparently ICE recognizes those pardons.

“I actually reached out to some of my colleagues that practice in Georgia and they’ve indicated that indeed ICE does honor those pardons,” she said. “The only difference that I can see as someone who is not at the agency, is that one state has policies that are arguably very favorable to ICE’s position, whereas the other state does not.”

Now I'm sure all those "small gov't" & "states rights" conservatives will be all over this story and objecting to what ICE is doing, right? Maybe tomorrow night's lead for Hannity?

No, because immigration is mandated as a power delegated to the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN THE CONSTITUTION.

Did you read the article?

“Courts, including federal courts, have before considered Connecticut’s pardons to be effective with respect to federal immigration purposes,” said Connecticut Attorney General William Tong. “Under federal immigration law, if you receive a full, absolute and unconditional pardon from your state, you are entitled to an automatic waiver of deportation."

So what? States have the right to pardon. To accept pardons from any state to forego deportation is to accept them all. This is just an exercise in chickenshit authoritarianism, a long time ICE favorite.

I'm curious as to what he's challenging? who has the lowest IQ? who can run the fastest head first into a brick wall?

I got it, he did the pod challenge and forgot to spit out the detergent.

Trump has a lot riding on government recognizing pardons, seeing how he is going to have to pardon himself and his whole family and cabinet to keep them out of jail.

Maybe if you jump up a little higher, it won't zoom over your head.

I get high enough smoking weed to see that you were were triggered by that post. Gee, why was that? I'll take another hit and get back to you on that...
