Imagine local sheriffs who actually comply with federal immigration law. What a concept.
Perhaps The New Yorker magazine is more comfortable with local police officials who defy such laws because their jurisdiction is in sanctuary cities.

That decision was Prigg v Pennsylvania, and I think it was a very bad decision which caused a lot of subsequent issues with states refusing to obey Federal laws.

Yep. One of the tactics of a totalitarian regime is to bring in JBTs from areas far outside of the local population so that they don’t have the relational ties to the community.
