By the Court holding that immigration is a federal matter, did they not through the back door just strike down all “sanctuary” state and city laws? If a future POTUS gets tough on illegals, cities and states will be unable to interfere by passing their little sanctuary ordinances.

The 1996 Immigration Act already makes sanctuary cities illegal. The federal government is not enforcing existing laws period.

the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) states the following without equivocation:

Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, a Federal, State, or local government entity or official may not prohibit or in any way restrict any government entity or official from sending to or receiving from the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.

— Section 642 (a) of IIRIRA, 1996, and Section 5434 of the Welfare Reform Act 1996; extended 2003
