The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the administration’s challenge to California’s main sanctuary city law protecting illegal immigrants, dealing a significant blow to President Trump’s hopes of forcing jurisdictions to cooperate with ICE.
The justices did not offer comment on their decision, though two — Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. — said they wanted to hear the case. It takes four justices to put a case on the court’s calendar......."

They can be enforced, but you’d have to work around the non-cooperation of certain states and municipalities. ICE,BP, DEA, ATF and the FBI are not barred from entering LA, but they will get no help from the LAPD. No biggee. They got riots to sit around and let happen. The federal government has plenty of other resources.
What about post # 12?
Enforcing the laws already on the books?
And by “enforcing the laws already on the books,” I mean Federal laws.
It's not. Federal immigration laws are still enforceable. That hasn't changed. This issue was about whether states can be forced to assist enforcing federal laws. Under our federal system, they can't. This outcome was never in any serious doubt. But nothing stops the feds from enforcing federal law, and nothing stops non-sanctuary states from choosing to assist.
Boy the hits just keep coming!! Kiss it goodbye!!
"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
From the 14th Amendment:
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
Patriots have the golden opportunity to send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
And it is Donald Trump against the deep state. The deep state is everywhere. Not looking good.
This country is done not because the SCOTUS will not hear a case, it’s because the people that are for rule the of law will only complain and emote about it on the internet.
I think I understand but would like to hear what you think also.
Thx.
You pulled that out of your butt.
“This means people can come into the country in any number and the immigration laws cannot be enforced”
This NON ruling doesn't mean anything of the kind. ICE will still arrest and deport you whenever they want all over the country. Federal immigration laws are still the same. No ruling whatsoever was made.
Conservative court? Bad, bad joke.
There is a 6-3 liberal majority with Roberts and Kavanaugh, Miss Ruth makes no difference now.
Excellent post!
And what hasn’t been mentioned already, they dealt a huge blow to the 2nd Amendment today also.
Saddest day in American history.
Look who doesn’t want their Court burned down! Sit tall for the Constitution you bearers of justice..
Pigs need to eat.
“No ruling was made.”
Exactly. Always a silly rush to lifeboats.
SCOTUS has always maintained the Feds have the authority. It is up to them to enforce the law. Just a guess, but they knew had they heard the case the result would have only increased the ‘mostly peaceful’ idiots in the street.
Full steam on the wall. Continue deportations. And reduce, delay Fed $ to sanctuary areas.
Your reading comprehension leaves something to be desired.
