“require state and local actors to comply with the Executive Branch’s immigration enforcement initiatives.”

It won't work. Actors are free-spirited types, especially in California.

Ill tell ya what.....

If this isn’t the biggest FAFO demonstration for the left that I have seen in my lifetime, I dont know what is.

It really is something to behold.

There really should be a federal law making sanctuary city behavior illegal on a national level.

Likewise there should be federal laws making fracking and drilling legal in all states.

The democrats are an evil group and we all know they get covered from their evil media allies. Their long-standing behavior is a threat to national security and our economy.

The ultimate solution is to legislate against it.

Lol.

Many actors have illegal aliens as servants—cheap labor.

Can Trump please have the Atty General’s Office renamed back to Office of Atty General rather than that odious and misleading “Dept. of Justice” which makes it sound like it is a Judicial Branch function rather than an Executive Branch Prosecutor function? (The Left loves to blur the lines of the division of gov’t power because the Left wants centralized gov’t power.)

Please.

Thank you.

Need to see a mass perp walk of California politicians who obstruct deportations.

[packagingguy]

Well we voted for a good show, looks like we got it.

[oil_dude]

Did Trump FIRE ALL 100 US State Attorneys yet?

Will be interesting to check back in a few weeks - or maybe days - to see how great their obstruction/rebellion plans are going.

“potentially prosecute”

Way too many “potentially” in the article for my taste.

Cities should secretly cheering this move. Getting the illegals out of town will help those cities budgets. But the washing machine politicians will not agree!

Come to Tulsa, We need a good laugh.

according to a document obtained by The Washington Post.

A leaked document.

There really should be a federal law making sanctuary city behavior illegal on a national level.

From the article:
“Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing, and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands, wrote" [the Acting Deputy Attorney General]

It appears all that has been needed is a president willing to honor his oath of office.;

Massacusetts, first.
