“The order specifically targets “sanctuary cities,” which are known to protect immigrants who have not committed crimes from deportation.”

Police are not “immigration”. Not their job to do CBP work. They do not have to check citizenship and or immigration status, just criminal record. For those who have none, there is nothing else to do. If the police are to do this job too, Congress must make it law.

For those who have a criminal record or committed a criminal offense, I see the point, but still, it is not the law. Just jail them, like every other criminal.

And none of that will be law. Take it to the bank. No one will vote for it, because we NEED those non criminal without papers to pick fruit, do dishes, lawns, brick walls, clean and process poultry and beef/pork, etc. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Stop wanting your cake and eat it too, until you have a LAW, AND obey laws in the books already, like employer prosecutions who hire such people ILLEGALLY.

Compare this to red flag laws. Until some states had them, police could not go get the guns of the dangerously unstable. Not their job. Until it became the LAW!

Here’s an interesting question: what would a cretin do if his or her neighbor had guns and was threatening, beating his wife, acting belligerent?

Trump Administration Can Withhold Grants From ‘Sanctuary Cities’: Court

Emma Tucker
Published Feb. 26, 2020

The Justice Department is justified in withholding millions of dollars in grants from cities and states for refusing to enforce the Trump Administration’s immigration laws, according to a Wednesday ruling by a federal appeals court.

The order specifically targets “sanctuary cities,” which are known to protect immigrants who have not committed crimes from deportation.

The ruling overturns a district court judge’s order for the DOJ to release funding to cities and states including New York City, Connecticut, New Jersey, Washington, and Virginia. The states and cities filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department in 2017 when then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the department will only give funds from the Byrne grant program, which goes toward state and local criminal justice efforts, if they “comply with federal law, allow federal immigration access to detention facilities, and provide 48 hours notice before they release an illegal alien wanted by federal authorities.” Sessions said at the time that sanctuary policies “undermine our laws and protect illegal aliens who have committed crimes.”
