Boycott Palmyra, Wisconsin


Paul Blount, head of Palmyra's public safety department, wants to collaborate with the ICEtapo and turn the city's police into stormtroopers:

It goes beyond other local law enforcement agencies' cooperation agreements with ICE, which deal with people already in jail. The other models generally allow jails to hold inmates for 72 hours beyond the time state law would require them to be released to give ICE time to pick them up. Fourteen Wisconsin county sheriff's offices have a version of those jail agreements in place.

The task force model was previously in place but came under fire for racial profiling concerns and civil rights violations. In 2012, the Obama administration suspended the task force model after, among other incidents, an investigation found that Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputies in Arizona were four to nine times more likely to pull over Latino drivers than non-Latino drivers.

In reality, Palmyra is a hodunk town with only 1,700 people, which means they probably have one diner,  a couple of gas stations and ten bars.  There's no reason to go there, much less spend money there.  And that last thing a good, patriotic American would want to do his support a bunch of Nazi wannabes.

  1. Keep in mind Palmyra/Eagle voted to dissolve their school district in 2019 rather than pass a tax.
