Thank you for speaking in a different language for others.

City councilman means representing a population where cannabis (not marijuana) is legal, regardless of his moral stance on the substance as expressed on Channel Six. Cannabis sales will be part of the commerce in Albert Lea that he is eager to promote and improve, so let's hope one person's moral preference does not impede progress.

Great work Sir! THANK YOU

Congratulations

congrats

He targeted me in high school purely because I was a foster kid.

So proud of my friend 🧡

Hopefully a hair less liberal than the others

Congratulations!🎊

Our police department continues to do their duty. Every one should support them

"ALPD does not inquire about immigration status during calls for service, including 911 calls." That's not good enough, Albert Lea Police Department. There are countless reports (with supporting evidence) that ICE is conducting warrantless searches and violating constitutional rights. We need you to do more than monitor traffic, merely prevent public executions, or look on as legal residents and even citizens are abducted. For God's sake, at least perform ID verification on every ICE-related call to ensure the citizens you're sworn to protect aren't being abducted! And for that matter, why not at least take down information of anyone being taken, regardless of status, so their families and legal counsel may be contacted. Situations like last Wednesday should never happen here.

And City of Albert Lea - City Hall, it would be nice to see action from the city to limit the scope of ICE activity (e.g. not allowing city property or other public spaces to be entered without a judicial warrant).

Hmmm, so the Albert Lea Police Department picks and chooses which laws it enforces! Wonderful, so I can pick and choose which laws I want to obey and the Albert Lea Police Department will be powerless to do anything about any law when lawyers get involved and fight any ticket!

Immigration enforcement does not require the terrorizing of citizens, period. That's a pretty conservative view, in case you don't know the difference between left and right.

Funny how they have no jurisdiction in immigration/ federal disputes but to monitor and verify that it's being done safely. Yet very comfortable with bringing people to a detention center and holding them there until ICE comes and collects. Seems like picking to me 🤨🤷🏽‍♂️.

So Albert Lea is a Sanctuary city which means it nullifies “The Constitution” and Federal Law. Albert Lea is a city in rebellion like the Confederacy was in the Civil War. Same principle, but worse bc the Civil War was for Americans, this treason is for protecting foreigners/invaders/criminals/enemy combatants. Albert Lea is committing treason.

AL doesn't need to be picking and choosing. One reason why I chose to purchase a house in AL was because my kids are brown and there was a decent amount of diversity. You will drive many people from this town and good luck with that. We are all supposed to be neighbors and look out for each other

The AL jail was used as an Ice holding pen years ago as a revenue source and nothing was said then.Now the blue haired crazies are offended and it becomes a big deal! Learn to OBEY the law and get over it!

Roughly 25% of our town's population are of immigrant origin. In our schools, roughly 45% of the student body comes from immigrant families. What do think will happen to this town when most of them don't feel safe or welcome here and they decide to move on to safer places. What will happen to our school system, local businesses, restaurants, property values and taxes, sales tax revenue, etc if we suddenly lose a large chunk of our population? If you think the birth rate is low now, consider what will happen to it if we lose the young and growing families. If you don't care about the ethics and morality of targeting and brutalizing swaths of people based on how they look or sound, think about how it will affect you, your community, your way of life. They aren't taking the worst of the worst. The documented people who came here "the right way" are not safe and protected during this invasion. People who don't feel safe and welcome will not want to stay here. They deserve to feel safe and welcome and we can't afford to lose them. Choose wisely.

I'm on side

Albert lea, is a shithole town and all of its officials in city and town leaders are so corrupt. Seems to me what several years ago wasnt some elected officials on the "TAKE" SEND THE ROITERS THERE TO BURN THE CITY DOWN JUST like they did in Minneapolis

The key here is 'legal' immigrant citizens!

Best PD in the state!

Some of you more worried about legal immigrants! Then u are about finding out ,trump and half of congress are child rapist!

City of Albert Lea - City Hall you're traitors and domestic terrorists! I hope you all get arrested

Loser..

Yet, you have no problems to let your community ( US ) that there will be a level sex offender coming to Albert Lea !

Bottom line…if you are legal, you have nothing to worry about. If you came across illegally then start packing and do the right thing and leave.

Okay so when ICE runs somebody off the road or breaks down someone’s door you will be out there to arrest them.

Immigrant. Is not illegal alien. Totally different

U.S. immigration policy is governed largely by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which was first codified in 1952 and has been amended significantly several times since. U.S. immigration policy contains two major aspects. One facilitates migration flows of foreign nationals into the United States; another focuses on immigration enforcement and removal. Immigration functions authorized by Congress in the INA and other laws are carried out by several executive branch departments and agencies. The United States has long distinguished permanent from temporary immigration. The INA's permanent immigration categories reflect principles of admission that are based upon national interest, including family reunification, U.S. labor market contribution, origin-country diversity, and humanitarian assistance. The INA provides lawful permanent resident (LPR) status through family and employer-sponsored categories, the diversity immigrant visa, and grants of refugee status and asylum, among others. LPRs may choose to naturalize, or become U.S. citizens, upon meeting requirements specified in the INA. Temporary immigration occurs through the admission of foreign nationals for specific purposes and limited periods of time, and encompasses two dozen categories that include foreign tourists, students, temporary workers, and diplomats. The executive branch may exercise statutory or executive authority to allow certain noncitizens to enter or remain in the United States on a time-limited basis, including those who have not been admitted through permanent or temporary pathways under the INA and might otherwise be subject to removal. These include Temporary Protected Status (TPS), immigration parole, and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The INA also provides authority for immigration enforcement, including restricting entry to and removing persons from the United States who lack authorization to be in the country or who have such authorization but have committed acts that make them subject to removal. Immigration enforcement functions include border enforcement, interior enforcement, detention, and removal. Some individuals subject to removal may be repatriated; others may be eligible for forms of permanent relief or temporary protection from removal. just factual information for everybody on any side of the situation Instead of fighting with one another over laws fight to put forth representatives and leaders who can change the laws to accommodate what you believe in. may peace be with you.

If you came here illegally it's time to go home this is not your home until you come back legally why ie it so hard to understand

Democrats..."no one is above the law" except for criminal, illegal aliens. Hypocrisy much?

Holy cow this is exhausting. I thought we had good schools in MN. Guess not. Some of you slept thru classes.
