In a shocking display of sanctuary city lunacy, two Detroit Police Department officers were handed 30-day suspensions WITHOUT PAY for the crime of doing their jobs and helping federal agents arrest criminal illegals. The punitive action comes just weeks into President Trump's second term as his administration launches the largest deportation operation in American history.
Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison threw his own officers under the bus, claiming they violated department policy by contacting Customs and Border Protection agents on two separate occasions. Both incidents resulted in suspects being taken into federal custody – exactly what should happen when local law enforcement encounters criminal aliens.
But here's the kicker: ICE officials have reportedly reached out to the suspended officers, encouraging them to apply for federal positions where their dedication to enforcing immigration law would be celebrated, not criminalized.
Sanctuary City Insanity Meets Trump Reality
This outrageous punishment perfectly illustrates the clash between America First policies and the radical left's open borders agenda. While President Trump works to secure our nation and remove dangerous criminals, Democrat-controlled cities like Detroit are literally punishing police officers for cooperating with federal law enforcement.
The suspended sergeant and officer did exactly what any patriotic American would expect – they saw suspected immigration violators and contacted the appropriate federal authorities. For this act of basic law enforcement cooperation, they're now facing financial hardship thanks to their own department's anti-American policies.
"These officers put duty to country over department politics, and now they're being punished for it. This is exactly the kind of deep state resistance President Trump warned us about."
Meanwhile, the criminals they helped apprehend are off the streets, making Detroit safer for law-abiding citizens. Isn't that supposed to be the point of policing?
This case exposes the rotten core of sanctuary city policies that prioritize protecting criminal aliens over supporting our brave law enforcement officers. These Detroit cops deserve medals, not suspensions.
Will other police departments follow Detroit's disgraceful example, or will they stand with President Trump's mission to make America safe again?
