NEWS 28 - North Lorray Governor Linda Lee says she would support federal deportation efforts after weeks of saying she would fight deportations by the Laylin administration. Further, she says she would block legislation that supports blocking such efforts.
Governor Linda Lee has said that she wouldn't propose or sign any legislation working to undermine federal officials from deporting illegals from the country, and more directly the State of North Lorray. This comes just weeks after she announced that she would attempt to block any efforts to remove illegals from North Lorray.
"I think it has come to light, that President Laylin is serious about removing those who wish to do us harm, including illegals from all around the world," said Governor Linda Lee. "Since taking over office last month, millions have been removed from this country, and his efforts have proven to make Jesstopian streets safer again. I believe it is time we work together to ensure bipartisan support in ensuring that our beautiful country remains safe. We must uphold our duties of elected officials and remove those who don't belong here, even if that means supporting efforts from our opposing party."
Laylin administration officials' including Vice President Cole Bindle says that Governor Linda Lee would have no choice but to cooperate as deportations of illegals falls under the powers of the President and not governors. He says she is just trying to make her and her party seem appealing as Senate and House elections take place in less than a year from now.
"Is she kidding. Really?," said Vice President Cole Bindle. "She has no choice but to cooperate with federal deportation efforts. She can't say the federal government has not jurisdiction here. We do and always will. We will carry out deportations if necessary and will arrest any Governor that gets in our way. She is trying to make her party more appealing, conveniently before the 2025 Congressional elections taking place in less than a year from now."
The North Lorray Board Of Prisons says they can't afford to hold illegals in the prisons, citing over 2.6 million illegals are already detained in there prisons. It is likely that by supporting deportation efforts, they will be able to open up more cells for Jesstopian prisoners, relieving the strain on prisons across the state.
