The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a lower court decision that ruled said sanctuary cities do not conflict with federal immigration laws. The decision comes after the Trump administration challenged multiple aspects of California's sanctuary city designation, which protects illegal aliens from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
From the Times of San Diego :
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Senate Bill 54 , otherwise known as the California Values Act, overriding the federal government’s assertion that it violates the Constitution’s supremacy clause that states federal law preempts state law when the two are at odds.
The court also upheld two other laws named in the suit, AB 103 and AB 450 , which allow the state attorney general to limit expansion of immigration detention facilities and require employers within the state to tell workers when their citizenship may be inspected by federal officials, respectively.
"SB 54 may well frustrate the federal government's immigration enforcement efforts," the court said. "However, whatever the wisdom of the underlying policy adopted by California, that frustration is permissible, because California has the right, pursuant to the anticommandeering rule, to refrain from assisting with federal efforts."
Those who champion California's refusal to cooperate with ICE were happy with the decision.
“This lawsuit against California was an affront to our state’s efforts to strengthen public safety for all while protecting families from the president’s abusive and overreaching deportation force,” San Diego Immigrant Rights Consortium Chair Lilian Serrano told the Times of San Diego.
When the lower court ruled in the state's favor, California's Democratic leaders made it known they refused to cooperate with ICE.
"CA will not be complicit in the Trump Administration's attack on immigrations, and we won't back down in defending our people and our values," California's former Gov. Jerry Brown (D) said in a statement. "This Administration has intentionally separated families at the border, confined immigrant children to jail cells and blocked every attempt to shine a light on conditions at federal immigration detention facilities. Today's ruling is a victory for our state and a defeat for the Trump Administration's war on our diverse communities."

Yeah, it’s obvious that, contrary to Roberts assertion, these judges are political wonks first (if not only) rather than fairly determining based on law.
I’m not opposed to bussing illegals to NYC, NJ, or Bernie’s Vermont, far removed from the Southern border!
All three of those states openly welcome the illegal aliens and all three are solid Demonic-Rat blue states with extremely high state income taxes.
Let their taxpayers exit, save for the true believing Socialist-tards who apparently love Bernie and Vermont.
The county I live in, the sheriff stood up with other county sheriffs against new gun laws the legislature was attempting to pass...and the county commissioners voted to stand behind our sheriff and declared us a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary county. So will be interesting to see how all that works out since the socialists have been so happy with their sanctuary areas for illegals.
"Hell no, we ain't fergetin!"
We tried to warn y'all./s
Interesting you take an interest in me. Thank you so much, but I’m not gay, which is why I don’t put my location, and sure as hell don’t give a flying crap about CA and a freeper longer than you! Hit and run on that!
Don’t give them any more crazy ideas.
The ninth circus court will support whatever their warped governor decrees. If Pres. Trump starts ending illegals to sanctuary state California, Newsom will surely declare that illegal and an Obama appointed federal judge will back him and the ninth circus will agree and who knows what Roberts’ SOCTUS will decide.
This is something President should not have announced. Just do it.
How could he be dealt a blow when the default expectation is for the 9th Circuit to rule against him?
Free stuff?
It’s hilarious. People in California foam at the mouth about the Confederacy but when they decide they don’t like federal laws they just scream “we ain’t gonna do whatchoo tell us, gringo!” and run to the 9th circuit for another corrupt decision.
Disembowel , I mean disavow the 9th Circuit .
Not worth the laundry costs to wash the black rags they rap themselves up in ,
Hey now, he is getting at least one a month what's the big hurry?
If the #RuleOfLawIsDead then I guess everything is permissible.
My mind reels at how much fun I could have with that! }:(
This was a case that came before the court a few weeks ago. The ones from our side will be seated in a few weeks. It is just a matter of time...
During the Obama administration Arizona tried to enforce our immigration laws (because Obama wouldn’t). The Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Government is in charge of immigration, not lower levels of government. But of course Democrats are used to having different rules apply.
I would contribute to bus illegals to sanctuary cities.
BINGO
“”This Administration has intentionally separated families at the border, confined immigrant children to jail cells and blocked every attempt to shine a light on conditions at federal immigration detention facilities.”
A court ruling based on falsehoods. All three
points are not true. Pull all federal funding
from California, and ship all illegal alien
invaders to SanFran. Let Nan better her neighborhoods.
