Thanks for posting this. I've been trying to understand sanctuary cities and why everyone is so upset. I very much see this as a state's rights issue.
Refusing to use local resources to do the fed's job for them seems more like a reasonable way to not overspend budgets.
I went into the learning thinking that cities were preventing feds into the city to do their jobs. Turns out, they are just refusing to do someone else's job.
Even aside from Trump’s dubious effort to tie it to federal grants, Section 1373 is itself unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the federal government may not “commandeer” state and local officials by compelling them to enforce federal law. Such policies violate the Tenth Amendment.
