WE NEED A DEAL ON IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT RIGHT NOW.

Add a comment

Look this whole ICE situation is getting really tough for everyone.

Should never be conflict between Americans over law enforcement- we should ALL support it– but I understand where people are coming from on this one because it FEELS like government oppression and we’re all hard-wired to oppose that.

This is an incredibly tough topic for me because I LOVE this nation and seeing people stand up against what they perceive as injustice. Its part of what makes America the best nation in the world.

But I also LOVE and RESPECT our laws and our law enforcement officers so long as they are operating constitutionally. And ultimately that RESPECT FOR THE LAW must be the overriding principle here.

In this video I lay out my thoughts on immigration more broadly and on immigration enforcement– and most importantly what a DEAL might look like to assure the law is enforced, on the one hand, but people are not subjected to needless risk on the other.

Bottom line is this– Trump is enforcing immigration law aggressively but also constitutionally for the most part and people on the left need to wrap their head around that.

You might not like the law, but you can’t come down on Trump or ICE for enforcing it to the letter– that is literally their job. Disrupting these efforts will go nowhere. And only result in altercations and people getting hurt needlessly.

If you want to see enforcement efforts turned down you need to GIVE something in exchange. Protesting and disrupting legal operations is NOT going to change anything. There is a deal to be made but you have to be SMART.

Best communities can do is reverse course on so-called “sanctuary” status and work with federal officials to self-report in an orderly fashion.

In exchange federal officials should back off and withdraw ICE and simultaneously work to build superior detention facilities and processes to make sure folks are being treated fairly and humanely.

People need to stand back and NOT disrupt lawful ICE activities in the meantime.

I know it sometimes feels wrong but so long as ICE is enforcing the law and doing so constitutionally (and 99% of the time they are) standing in their way is dangerous and unhelpful. And as we have seen it can create circumstances where people get killed needlessly.

Hate to see that.

Love this nation. Love all of you. Let’s stay safe and be smart and UNITED.

There is a deal to be made here.

Let’s get it done.

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric J. Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 250 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.
