How do we have an acting assistant attorney general when we don’t even have an attorney general yet?

[JJBookman]

...that includes ALL of the Bill of Rights, including the 1st and 2nd Amendments!

[JJBookman]

...how did we have an acting president for 4 years?

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

Not needed. Federal law always Trumps (lol) state/ county/city law.

[scouter]

Cities should secretly cheering this move.

Cities should secretly be publicly and loudly cheering this move.

There. Fixed it for you.

“Bove’s directive, which responds to executive orders Trump signed on his first day in office Monday, is likely to face fierce blowback from legal advocacy groups“

Fierce blowback against basic constitutional law? Good.Let’s see how far that gets them. Ain’t gonna matter what some hand picked constitution hating leftist judge decrees.

It shouldn’t take more than a week or two to line up indictments for a bunch of California Officials.

Please send some ICE agents to Austin TX, armed with lawful immigration-related commands dealing with illegal aliens, so that DOJ prosecutors can arrest and prosecuted City of Austin and Travis county officials who resist, obstruct, and otherwise fail to comply with those commands.

[Ex-Con777]

The legal advocacy groups will be double busy. On one hand they will be trying to sue to stop a directive. On the other hand they will be defendants fighting to stay out of jail.

Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing, and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands.

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

The big mistake was allowing it at all in the first place. It was NEVER legal.

FYI, constitutional America is not a democracy (centralized gov’t power based on majority population centers). America is a Republic (decentralized power and representative gov’t).

America needs to recover her Free Constitutional Republic.
