Defund them and prosecute.
Interesting that the anti-”States Rights” folks are now saying cities should be able to ignore federal law.
...Defund them and prosecute....
The Feds cannot force states to enforce Federal law. No more than the Feds can force states to enforce anti gun Federal laws. But, states can enforce Federal laws voluntarily.
The big hammer here is to deny sanctuary cities all Federal funds. That would hit them where it really hurts. However, on a funding cutoff, the Liberals would whine, “What about the children?”

Who actually gets prosecuted? The city is just an area on a map. Is it the mayor? The city council? Or does it devolve down to a money grab from the citizens unfortunate to live within the city boundaries? I haven’t a clue. It’s not like you can send a city to prison.
Since they are breaking the law, they should also be forced to return all previously received funds, in addition to paying ginormous fines!!
Fly a round-robin trip around the country serving arrest warrants, since they are aiding the invasion of the U.S. we could house them in the open cells in the sanctuary city of Gitmo! Call them what they are, war criminals.
