Trump could be quite brutal here if he wished. He’s only got so much political capital however, and may have to escalate strategically. Having mass uprisings in Leftyland will risk the mushy middle. It could also risk the USSC swing votes putting a finger to the wind.

I think that’s what may have happened. If the state of California should start cracking down in businesses that disregard it’s sanctuary laws these businesses may either shut down or leave or both. Regardless, the state will continue its downward toilet bowl spiral...
What if they passed a law but nobody followed it?”
ICE needs to do their illegal roundup raids without the help of the employers.
Basically tell Kalifornia to stick it.

Sorry, but talk about co-opting the Leftists drivel!
“Political capital”? It’s the Presidency, not ‘Dancing With the Stars’. The People don’t get to call it in, but every 4 yrs. He’s got a JOB to do: adhere and ENFORCE the F* L-A-W.
“Escalate strategically”? Ahh, for political posturing, not as ‘effective and legal governance’.
Nope, it only goes to show the dichotomy of govt: One sets of laws for the elected/elite....another, more draconian and brutal, for the rest.

And what would the mushy middle *DO*? What could SCOTUS do? Trump need only pull a Jackson on ‘em...let THEM enforce their edicts
Hell, I for one, would LOVE to see a true Constitutional crisis. Might wake a few out of their stupification.
My $.02, this is why the (R)N(C) loses, battle after battle. Poo-poo’d and tsk-tsk’d until they wake up wondering how the shackles happened upon their appendages.
I know I vote for some ‘finger-in-the-wind’.
