Madison goes all Minneapolis on immigration.
Where is an unmarked police car not unmarked? In Madison WI. Where are undercover plain-clothed officers clearly marked as the constabulary? Here in Progressive Madison WI. Where can scofflaws speed off into the sunset unmolested? In Defund the Cops Madison WI — at least until unfettered police in nearby Monona track them down.
Virtue signaling like a sinking sailor doing semaphore, Madison’s police chief — appointed by Mayor Satya — is ordering placards be placed in the windshields of otherwise unmarked police vehicles. The signage will read “Madison Police” — in English AND Spanish, yet! (But not Somali?) Plain-clothed officers will now wear insignia indicating “Hey, I’m a cop — but at least I’m not I.C.E.!”
Envious Madison is determined to stumble in the footsteps of Jacob Frey, the preening mayor of Minneapolis. Do some quality “learing” at the feet of Minnesota governor Elmer Fudd.
The capital city of Wisconsin is girding for passive– (that inevitably turns to) aggressive resistance to legitimate immigration enforcement. Make the Feds conduct their lawful enforcement out on the streets, without the mitigating crowd control of the local gendarmerie. All to signal that the City intends to encourage, however tacitly, the usual idiots to interpose themselves into the midst of active law enforcement, thereby endangering themselves, government agents, and even the unlawful immigrants. And you thought nullification was only a tool of Southern separatists!
You think Madison’s crazies won’t emerge blinking from the storm sewers? Order your plywood now!
Sheriff Kalvin Barrett should invite immigration authorities into his jail — no foolish bystanders, no weapons — and say, “Here’s who we’ve got.” But he does business as a Dane County Democrat and that party has been taken over by Francesca Hong’s socialists.
May Day! May Day!
The local Democratic Socialists are “collaborating with other socialist, labor, and immigrant groups to keep I.C.E. out of Madison.” The party of John Nichols and A.O.C. plans a general strike for May 1. (Mark calendars on 02-21-26 for their Communist Manifesto Reading Group, 10-11:30 a.m.)
In service to this city’s simmering insurrection, former alder Brenda Konkel agitates for a battle plan to protect The Homeless (aka: the “unhoused”) from the law.
“If I.C.E. comes to town what is the plan for unhoused people in shelter or on streets?”
Heaven forfend that taxpayers should be relieved of providing more government services to illegal immigrants who are homeless, intoxicated, and disorderly.
Via social media, one Jud Sojourn recommends: “Rapid response groups to locate events, blow whistles and try to get marked people to safety and prevent future arrests. … Need temporary safe locations lined up, drivers, and people to help run interference.”
Madame Brenda, who possesses a law degree, raises a Fourth Amendment, search and seizure issue: “Is a sleeping bag on a sidewalk a private space? Or a tent?”
County Supv. Heidi Wegleitner proposes “quality training for shelter staff to prevent ICE access to space or guest info.” [“Guest”?]
Sabrina Marie asks, “Could we start a list of privately owned businesses that welcome vulnerable people to come inside if they feel threatened, with no requirement to spend money? Businesses that will stand against ICE on their property?”
Blaska’s Bottom Line: If I.C.E. comes to town, here’s Blaska’s plan for unhoused people: Invite them to bunk in your home. Ask how they like their eggs in the morning.

“Minnesota Governor Elmer Fudd.” That got a chuckle out of me…..
Where is the outcry over accountability for ICE. You conservatives always yap about money. Vance and his gang have been in Italy for days on your dime. How many Ice agents are there. I dare you to find out and tell me. Planes, food, rooms How much? The big budget congress gave them is nothing for than a slush fund for Noem. She bought two friggin jets for herself. Why? Buying warehouses all over the country from her friends at huge prices. A trump donor flies deported people outat 35,000k a person. (Omni Air). Then we get “too bad grannie, but we got to cut your food stamps.
“The preening mayor of Minneapolis” indeed. I wonder how long it takes Jake to get those tousled locks to sit just right on his forehead.
As for virtue-signaling in Madison (a subject that could fill many small-print volumes), I noticed the other day that the Goodman Community Center has taped posers to its doors proclaiming it an ICE-free zone. That’ll stop those jack-booted thugs in their tracks!
I wonder how the cops feel about having masked, unidentified, armed, untrained thugs running around stopping people. Then spraying them, shooting them, shipping them out of the country and ignoring judges’ orders. Would this make the local cops’ jobs easier? ASK koval.
They are masked, unidentified, and armed because leftist lunatics have shown a willingness to terrorize them and their families in their own homes.
Go ask the cops if they want more illegals in their communities or fewer. Everyone with any effing common sense knows the answer.
You sound like Bondi doing her Megan Kelly impression after the Bad Bunny show.
Have radical leftists shown doxxing and harassment to be acceptable tactics to them or not? Does law enforcement in general want more illegal immigrants in the country or not? Do you have any rebuttals beyond troll-speak or not?
Could you send me the address for the local Antifa office? Hard to dox and harass when the wear masks, show no ID, shut off their camaras, or even sign the fake warrants they use.
Yeah, that’s the point—anonymity avoids doxxing and harassment. People like Brett Kavanaugh, Ismael Ozanne, Amy Cooper, Matt Kenney, Scott Bessent, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, and Rand Paul probably all wish they had that luxury.
All twisted over doxxing and harassment? Ask the Epstein woman about that. Bumdi has been doing it for months. Names and pics.
Ahem. The police chief is “appointed by Mayor Satya”? Not in Wisconsin, Kemosabe. The Police and Fire Commission appoints the chief. Has since 1885, when disgusted Milwaukee citizens marched a delegation to Madison because their mayors kept treating the police department like a political piñata. Every election, new mayor, new chief, new cops. An officer could take a knife wound in the line of duty and still walk the plank if he’d backed the wrong candidate. Attorney Jerome Brigham wrote the bill, the legislature passed it, and the spoils system was kaput. First chief hired under the new commission? John T. Janssen — served 33 years. That’s what happens when you take politicians’ mitts off the badge. Satya appoints the five PFC commissioners; the PFC hires the chief. Which actually sharpens your point: if the chief is taking marching orders from City Hall anyway, what was the whole point of the reform?
Fair points.
Madison is redifining sanity.
just where is Buford T. Justice when you need him.
Over the course of 55 years living in Madison, I have grown to appreciate the evolution of MPD from head-bashers to public protectors. Sadly, federal law enforcement has unleashed a reign of terror, murder and perjury in Chicago, Minneapolis and beyond. (Particulars available by request.) MPD is by no means perfect, but is perceptive enough to distinguish itself from Trump’s Gestapo. The keyboard eunuchs who infest this blog might do well to reflect on the rise of mid-20th century fascism in Italy, Spain and Germany. I for one appreciate local police officers who stand on Constitutional principle, providing a layer of protection for ordinary residents who resist the threat of federal tyranny.
With all the pearl clutching on the right about Minneapolis there aren’t many calling for accountability. The snow shovel story is now a total lie. Shot the guy through a locked door and lied to the whole country. No names, no charges, they get “reassigned out of town and sight. My kids and grandkids live 3 blocks from the Flood Killing. They keep me posted and as you said “Fascism” is there. When will the right-wing figure out they are complicate in this horror show.
OT PRICELESS GEM
