Republican congressman introduces 'Libby Schaaf Act' to criminalize immigration raid warnings

[RandySF]

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf has a new bill in Congress named after her — but it’s not one she’s likely to support.

Rep. Steve King, a firebrand conservative Republican from Iowa, announced what he’s calling the “Mayor Libby Schaaf Act of 2018” on Monday, in an attempt to make it illegal for public officials to warn of upcoming immigration sweeps.

It’s the latest move by national Republicans — including President Donald Trump — to target the Oakland mayor for her decision in February to issue a public warning about immigration raids in the Bay Area. Under King’s bill, state and local government officials who purposefully “broadcast” information relating to “any imminent action by a federal law enforcement officer or agent” would be guilty of obstruction of justice and could face up to five years in prison, as well as a fine.

1. Steve King is a full on fascist.

Seriously, if he were an adult in 1939 he would have joined the SS.

2. He'd join the SS today

if there were a chapter near him.

He's not afraid to tell everyone who will listen what a racist piece of shit he is.

3. He's proud of it.

I surprised he doesn’t walk around with an arm band and a Nazi iron cross pinned to his chest.

He's like Trump but with less humanity.
