2. Oh, yay. Another lawsuit upcoming, since Trump loves to waste our tax dollars on frivolous, illegal policies.

The policy of the city vis-a-vis whether it's a sanctuary has nothing to do with Customs at the airport, which is staffed by either Federal workers or Federal contractors. The two subjects have nothing to do with each other, but hey, it's red-meat for the knuckle-dragging maga crew. There's almost nothing they hate more than the dreaded blue sanctuary cities.

Guess what Billy Joe Jim Bob? The Constitution doesn't demand that local LEO are obligated to function as immigration enforcement officers. Ergo "Sanctuary Cities" are not "illegal", not unless they are actively impeding actual immigration agents from doing their jobs. Which they never seem to do, even when the assholes are blatantly violating local laws

Funny how it's never "Federal Overreach" or "violating State's Rights" when it involves a GQP bugaboo, isn't it?
