Video: What ICE enforcement could look like under GOP governor candidate Tom Tiffany

Congressman and Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany refused to say that President Trump should not invoke the Insurrection Act as a pretext for putting more military into places like Minnesota or Wisconsin. Instead, Tiffany cherry-picked a list of crimes to paint most undocumented immigrants as deserving to be seized and deported, despite the crime rate among immigrants being substantially lower than for citizens.

Tiffany went on to make claims about American citizens refusing to work despite a record-high workforce participation rate — and said he would seek stronger work requirements that he says would fill the jobs on Wisconsin farms currently done by immigrants. Wisconsin farmers have consistently maintained migrant laborers work harder, show up consistently, and don’t cause problems. They have been seeking immigration reform rather than the mass deportations sought by Republicans.

What’s at Stake – How is it that this upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election is even more important than past elections where control of the court was at stake?

Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor says the stakes are even bigger this time because it’s not about progressive vs. conservative justices, it’s about a state and its people being able to stand up to big government at the federal level — one that is threatening voting rights, personal liberties, and even the right to control our own bodies and healthcare.

Taylor faces off on April 7 with conservative Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar. Taylor took part in a live online event organized by UpNorthNews.

In less than two weeks, Wisconsin voters head back to the polls — and there will be more than 70 school referendums in districts across the state. The rising tide of referendums is happening because the Republican-controlled Legislature hasn’t kept the state’s share of school funding in line with inflation for 15 years. And it also refuses to fix some deception on property tax bills.

You might see a big dollar amount going to your local school district, but you don’t see how much of your tax dollars are actually siphoned off that amount and used for private school vouchers, making public school even more reliant on local property taxes.
