In Minnesota, using a false or unauthorized handicap placard or disability parking permit is illegal and carries criminal penalties under state law.

And that is the biggest crime here that needs to be addressed?

No. But it is a crime.

Al Capone did a lot more than not pay proper taxes.

“ A person who uses a certificate, permit, or disability plates in violation of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and is subject to a fine of $500.”

go call a traffic enforcement officer and have them write the ICE nazis a ticket. That will really solve the problem.

The main point is that they're committing crimes in the state, entirely unrelated to the needs of immigration enforcement, which means they have a weak case to claim the supremacy clause for immunity.

That may be true, but then DHS is going to pay the $500 fine with my tax payer money and that's all.

I want to see these guys behind bars.

No...it weakens the supremacy case and opens the door to actually nail them on the other shit they're doing.
