President Trump wasted no time inviting a showdown with California and other liberal states with his threat this week against so-called sanctuary cities, setting off a frenzy of resistance that will test the president’s power to carry out his vision to deport millions of people here illegally.
The executive order Trump issued Wednesday putting cities and counties on notice that they would lose federal funding if they didn’t start cooperating with immigration agents has broad implications for California, a state that aggressively protects its undocumented population from deportation.
But while the order allowed Trump to boast that he is fulfilling a campaign pledge, it also commits him to a fight that he is not necessarily poised to win.
The cities and counties Trump is targeting have many tools to strike back. Among the most potent are high court decisions that have interpreted financial threats like the one Trump is now making as an unlawful intrusion on state’s rights.

Ha!
“Trump has really stepped in it this time! It’s all over for him now!” No. 23,343,547
What happens when Trump flood these so called “sanctuary cities” with ICE agents ... LA Slimes?
Those 10,000 new ICE agents to be hired over the next years have to go somewhere.
Is Trump the only national leader who is interested in our nation’s laws?
“The cities and counties Trump is targeting have many tools to strike back.”

On the other hand, I believe they get most - if not all - of their drinking water from outside of California. They get dry and thirsty, they’ll change their tune.
The cities that do this will likely have an influx that will tax their system and drive out current residents. They of course are not smart enough to see this likely outcome.
I think it is time to remove all Border Patrol/ICE Agents off of the ENTIRE California Border and increase the neighboring states. Then I think I will hear screaming.
If the libazzes want to commit “fundecide” ( getting their federal funds cancelled) , let them. Sure be fun watching them squirm and squeal.
My money is on President Trump and immigration law, Wiener and his Rat supporters are backing illegal alien/invaders.
Bring it !!!
The Trump machine and his 60 million supporters vs California liberal wimps, weenies and snowflakes. This should be interesting.
Let’s not forget that there are about 20 million Californian patriots who oppose the liberal weenies in the big, sh*thole, liberal cities.
It’s the beginning of the end for stinky, socialist California.
Back in the 70’s Carter told all the states that if they didn’t adopt a 55 mph speed limit, they would lose their funding. States didn’t seem to complain too much then.....and that actually was a stupid edict from up high.
“Is Trump the only national leader who is interested in our nation’s laws?”
That sums it up. Dire straights.
How about changing state and local officials with aiding and abetting? That should get their attention.
There will be an army of millions providing ICE with information
This is satire, right?
It all is relevant to Obama’s success with the DEEP STATE.
Trump is now making as an unlawful intrusion on state’s rights.
“On the other hand, I believe they get most - if not all - of their drinking water from outside of California. They get dry and thirsty, they’ll change their tune.”
Sorry Louie, but that’s simply no true. LA and Arizona share the Colorado River water, but in case you haven’t looked, California’s eastern boundary is the Sierra Nevada Mountains which give us nearly all the water we receive and at the same time are a barrier to bringing in water from outside the state. We’ve been dry and thirsty for several years until this current winter, and we didn’t get any water from any of the surrounding states, except an occasional bottle someone bought and brought in. And FWIW, I hope Trump actually brings the CA sanctuary cities and counties to heel. But there’s no “tune to change” when it comes to water.
