Mortgage fraud is a state crime and a federal crime as are banking laws. I’ve signed 5 mortgages (well actually seven including two refinances), they all include state and federal laws. Foreclosure procedures are under the jurisdiction of the state and sometimes the local ordinances

The state isn’t helping the federal government pursue IRS cheats.

For instance this is the GA website.

The state of GA could care less if you don’t pay your federal taxes, defraud the federal government of SSA and Medicare funds etc.



I’ve offered multiple examples of states and municipalities working together with federal enforcement of FEDERAL laws. The idea that this isn’t enough to satisfy you is ridiculous.


No you didn’t. You offered examples of stares and federal law enforcement working together when there were state and federal interest. Think about it for one second. Why would the state or local government forbid their money and resources to help the federal law enforcement unless people were also breaking state laws?

Your example of banking laws is clearly in the federal and state interests.


Horrible typos and I’m out of the edit window

And in my state, it's actually forbidden. A recent PD press release over some ICE activity:

> [Department] was not notified of or involved in this enforcement action. By state law, city resolution, and department policy, [we do] not cooperate or coordinate with federal immigration enforcement.
