You owe that man an apology
No, I don’t. You owe all of us an apology for pulling stupid evidence that is incorrect.

Your citation: Sportskeeda. What is this??

Actual correct evidence: AJC News
The AJC’s linked article within the first article: Detail on GA Outlawing Sanctuary Cities
The actual referenced GA State law: GA Senate Bill 269

Your source is further distorting a skewed article that UGA’s student paper, the Red & Black, wrote in 2018 ( here).

That article reported the Clarke County Sheriff’s office—note that’s only 1 of 4+ local Police jurisdictions overseeing UGA’s campus—would stop honoring unofficial verbal ICE “detainers”, which only amounted to holding an inmate an extra 48 hrs after booking anyway.

Neither Athens County, the City of Athens, nor the UGA Police departments, nor the state of GA Sheriff’s office in that area, ever approved that pushback.

On top of this, NONE of those 4 jurisdictions ever agreed to stop honoring written ICE detainers. From the same Red & Black article:

“The [Clarke County] Sheriff will still comply with state law and honor ICE detainers that are “accompanied by a judicial warrant or an order from a court,” the press release said.”

You don’t know what you are talking about as usual. Athens is and has been controlled by liberal politicians for the better part of the last 20 years. Joe Biden won the county with nearly 70% of the vote in 2020. The people there who voted for this should be questioning their intelligence this very moment
You sound like the average sidewalk stupid.

Presidential voting results breakdowns have nothing to do with a) state laws, b) local police jurisdiction commitments to enforce said laws (and overwhelmingly support ICE’s operating abilities, while we’re at it).

And since I’m having to give you this extremely remedial lesson, let’s also look at cultural attitudes of the citizenry in Athens you cite that would have voted for Biden, to cover-off the insinuation that those people would even support sanctuary city measures in the first place

Black people: Pew Research on Blacks’ Immigration attitudes

Raleigh-Durham is probably fairly similar to Athens, no?

“In comparison, African Americans in the Raleigh-Durham area are more supportive of restricting immigration – both legal and illegal – than are blacks nationally or those in Chicago or Washington D.C. A solid majority (57%) favors cutting back on legal immigration and 58% support requiring illegal immigrants to return home. And on an issue of local importance, a large majority of blacks in Raleigh-Durham (84%) believe that police should be required to check the immigration status of people they encounter during routine activities such as traffic stops; two-thirds of whites (67%) agree.

While Raleigh-Durham’s economy has been growing rapidly, most blacks feel the boom has bypassed them. Only about a quarter (28%) say there are plenty of jobs available in the community, compared with 58% of the area’s white population. Roughly three-in-ten blacks in Raleigh-Durham (29%) say they or a family member have lost a job to an immigrant worker.

Blacks in Raleigh-Durham are concerned about the cultural impact of immigration, as well as its economic consequences.Nearly six-in-ten (58%) say the growing number of newcomers in the U.S. threatens traditional customs and values, significantly more than the percentage of white Raleigh-Durham residents saying this (43%).”


White people: their are 214k citizens in Athens ( link). Deduct, let’s say, 90% of UGA’s 40k students that would be included in that figure ( Census.gov) = 178k remaining people. 65.2% of the population is White, so 116k.

Now. UGA employs 2,310 faculty and another ~6,700 service personnel/administrators. If we (incorrectly) assume 100% of them are White, we can refer to the earlier Pew Research Center article to get a best guess on their lack of support for supportive illegal immigration policies. And, it certainly stands to reason, that amongst White people in a mid-size town in the South, University-affiliated White people are likely to be the most socially progressive.

Of course, it would be illogical for them to be supportive of illegal immigration: they’re all employed by an institution that, you know, requires its students to submit out an application, register, pay money in most cases, and in cases where they don’t pay money, be approved for support by the U.S. and/or State of GA governments (Pell grants, Hope scholarships).

Thus, even an aggressive guess gives you something less than 10k White people affiliated with higher education supporting illegal immigration (8.6% of Athens’ non-student, White, population).

So you’re talking about less than 1 in 10 White people throughout the city that would be on board with liberal immigration policies to support sanctuary city status.

GTFO

Keeping voting Democrat and this is what you get. They want the border flooded with illegals hoping they'll get that golden "pathway to citizenship" and their votes in the future. People like Laken Riley are just collateral damage in their pursuit of political power.

And yeah, you can shove the "political board" up your arse you leftist assclowns.

I’m glad I have your permission to keep voting Democratic. Not that I need it or want it. I WILL continue to vote Democratic. Especially when the alternative is a grifter under 91 felony indictments and a Congress that can’t stop fighting among themselves much less less work to get anything done.

She was a Deans List student too. Would probably have made a great nurse and we need more of them nowadays. I hope this murderous scum bag gets life with no parole.

Horrific what happened, but the way the country is now it could happen on any of our campuses.


Prayers and thoughts to all the UGA community

The people who enabled this are Trump and the GOP. When is that check arriving from Mexico? We are still waiting. And where is that big “beautiful” wall?
Congress had a chance last week to take steps to pass a bipartisan bill that would have helped but since Trump told them not to pass it because some people might give Biden a little credit for it they obeyed like the spineless wimps they are.
I’m thru with this topic. Some of you people are hopeless. You need help to get out of this Trump cult. More help than I’m willing or qualified to give.

You just posted a complete load of crap lol, every commissioner except one is a Democrat as well as the mayor. When an entire county votes 70+ percent Democrat in a presidential election, it rivals Atlanta in terms of its voting record. To put it in perspective, Gwinnett County voted 58% for Biden; Fulton County voted 72% for Biden; DeKalb County voted 83% for Biden. No one with an ounce of intelligence that knows anything about Georgia elections would argue that Fulton or Dekalb County aren’t extremely liberal, urban areas. Essentially, Clarke County voted nearly identical to Fulton County in the last presidential election. Athens has brought this on themselves steadily over the last couple of decades

That’s because it was given billions to Ukraine. Tell the truth about the whole bill buddy.

No, it was some of the illegal vermin, that filthy fricking Democratic Party scumbag, I just described them all, let into this nation.

This is what the lower form of life known as Democrats have brought this nation.

I refuse to believe you’re really this stupid. Just a sheep that’s been programmed by left wing establishment propaganda if I were guessing.
