@WallyZimolong /4 Today, the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, dismissed the case in its ENTIRETY.

The Court held that Sheriff Harran’s “cooperation is clearly lawful under Pennsylvania jurisprudence and is reasonable and necessary in fulfilling his lawful duty.”
@WallyZimolong /5 The Court also found that the plaintiffs lacked standing and failed to show any harm, noting they only had “speculative future injuries based on speculative future events.”
@WallyZimolong /6 The Court reaffirmed that the Office of the Sheriff is an independent, constitutional law enforcement office in Pennsylvania — and isn’t subordinate to county commissioners or political actors.
@WallyZimolong /7 This decision confirms what the ACLU should already know:Â
The Sheriff is an INDEPENDENT constitutional officer who answers to the law — not politicians, not activists, and not the ACLU.

@WallyZimolong /8 The ACLU’s lawsuit was a political hit job designed to intimidate sheriffs who refuse to bow to the Left’s open-borders and lawless agenda.
They failed, and they’ll continue failing.

@WallyZimolong /9 This decision has sweeping implications.Â
It’s a decisive victory for the rule of law, public safety, and the independence of constitutional officers.
And it’s a major defeat for the ACLU’s anti-law-enforcement agenda.
