At least there is a stay pending appeal.

In the next 5-10 years there will be a landmark Supreme Court case about local jurisdictions responsibility to the Feds regarding Imigration status.

Are constitutional rigs for Citzens, or humans standing on US soil?
We need to stack the court now. Good first start yesterday and with Senate rules nuked, getting solid judges on the bench got a lot easier.
Need to work every election campaign from now on.
Sounds like they are actively destroying records of a Criminal Conspiracy to Violate Federal Immigration Law, Where is AG Sessions, FBI???
