"I was arrested today," Riemer wrote on Facebook last evening. Riemer has promised to introduce legislation to declare Montgomery County officially a "sanctuary county" for illegal immigrants, according to Gustavo Torres, Executive Director of CASA de Maryland.
Riemer has run afoul of the law in the past, including violating his own Open Data law this past spring, when he directed that a file required to be posted on the County website be removed. In 2014, he appeared to have inside information on illegal activity in the County's Department of Liquor Control, over which he has oversight authority, but waited to report it until after he was safely reelected that November.
Here's a wacky idea...how about we declare it a "sanctuary county" for legal residents? Or even for endangered species (no illegals do not fall under that, sorry)?
ReplyDeleteRiemer is a stain on Montgomery County, if not America in general.

ReplyDeleteAs someone who grew up in the Gaithersburg area in the 1970s and 1980s I can say that I've seen my hometown go from being a quiet and peaceful small town which was very safe to being transformed into a gang haven for illegal immigrants who decapitate people and deal in human trafficking and drugs.Montgomery county is like a place in a third world country.Immigration is at its highest level in a century,please people,let's be reasonable about this.We need to slow down immigration until we can get the system fixed.Its not working and we certainly don't need Montgomery County to be an official Sanctuary County,my goodness.
ReplyDeleteHe voted to close an effective organization for the mentally ill in Montgomery County despite promising otherwise. Can't be trusted.
ReplyDeletePlease just lock him up after the next Election Day is over
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Reimer probably lives in a nice cushy, gated community in Chevy Chase completely cut off from reality? If so, why worry about the rest of the county going to hell?
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous 10:29 AM...I feel bad for you having to witness your home community go downhill like this. I'm sure it was a nice quiet peaceful area back then. What's worse is this is just a microcosm of a bigger trend happening throughout this country. People who advocate for this sanctuary status nonsense are delusional and spoiled by their romanticized and twisted view of what compassion is. They cannot balance this with the realities of life and country.
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous 8:34...Thank you,I completely agree with you.
DeleteActually, Riemer lives in a very nice million-dollar house in Takoma Park. Custom built of course.
ReplyDeleteNot quite $1M. Currently valued at $853,700.
DeleteHans purchased it for $780K in 2012.
That's a lot of house on a Montgomery County Councilman's salary. I wonder how he can afford it?
Let Hans know what you think.
