Attorney General William Barr announced Monday that there will be a “significant escalation” against “sanctuary” cities, counties and states, including lawsuits against localities opposed to the Trump administration's hard-line immigration policies.
The administration is attempting to crack down on local and state governments that have pledged to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation. Barr announced lawsuits against the state of New Jersey and King County, Wash., which includes Seattle.
“Unfortunately, in various jurisdictions, so-called ‘progressive’ politicians are jeopardizing the public’s safety by putting the interests of criminal aliens before those of law-abiding citizens,” Barr said.
“These policies are textbook examples of misguided ideology triumphing over commonsense law enforcement,” he added.
Barr, speaking at the National Sheriffs’ Association 2020 Winter Legislative and Technology Conference, said the department is "reviewing the practices, policies and laws of other jurisdictions across the country" to see if they follow laws banning the “harboring or shielding” of undocumented immigrants, Axios reported.
The administration’s suit against New Jersey will attempt to prevent states from enforcing law that stops them from sharing information about criminally charged undocumented immigrants with federal authorities. The King County case will fight a law that bans the Department of Homeland Security “from deporting aliens from the United States through the county airport,” according to Reuters.

Pelosi and Schumer shot their wad.
There is no serious obstacle to Trump's agenda now.
We need to make certain Maxine Waters stops the "Take Trump Out" rhetoric as well as punish her in ways she can never again sick her dogs on people in the Executive Branch.
Maxine Waters is Chairman of the House committee that disperses all of the tax money every American has paid for, and I'm certain she is using every trick in the book to "Take Trump Out" of money he needs to preside over the country, keep his campaign promises, which the American people agreed with to put him in the White House on election day last season. Her offenses should be punishable by trial for treason, usury, and expropriation of the voters money to do her and her House Democrat friends' personal pet rock projects, rather than to accept the responsibility of what the President says that he needs to do the will of the American people who put him in office.
I'm getting a little sick of arrogant House women who are attacking the President with profanity, such as Tlaib's overuse of the word, "************" on elected Republican members of the Executive Office, and that's pretty too extreme language to allow in front of America's children, many of whom watch the Main Stream Media lie through their teeth and encourage taboo language that should be banned from all media in which children may browse on News Channels on the web, political ads, etc.
Free speech does not cover inappropriate and taboo profanity in areas of the media that children can access.
We have a responsibility to use the 70,000 everyday words, excluding profanity on public airwaves, the radio, the television set, and yes, online. It would do a world of good to teach people polite speak and use words such as:
"inappropriate," "unacceptable," "bombastic," "contumacious," "animadversion," "incandescent," "recalcitrant," "obstreperous," "adamantine," "pertinacious," "vociferous," "caterwauling," "abominable," "impious," "obdurate," "insolent," "inviolable," "decimated," "affronted," "disparaging," "libelous," "quiddity," "traducing," "deprecatory," "florid," "pontifical," "idiosyncratic," "obloquy," "vituperative," "invective," "calumnious," "zealous," "mendacious," "blenched," "ebullient," "perfidious," "unscrupulous," "ostentatious," "truculent," "obstreperous," "dysfunctional,"
and ever so many more words of specificity instead of the taboo MF imprecation, not to mention a list of legal, monetary, mathematical, military, medical, ecological, astronomical, and scientific terms, since some of them will be overseeing watchdogs of similar governmental departments. Otherwise, they will not be good public servants whose only response to a criminal is a "MFer," and they better be courteous to persons of opposite opinions in any given verbal dispute.
How much more would the courteous use of the English language be if people learned and used more precise language. In fact, the founders preferred learning language skills to inappropriate and discourteous speech. I think the Congress should have a little contest. They should appoint the person who uses language best and understands the nuances of the above list of basically negativity, but in a particular way. The elected should use the above list and double it with words that are so seldom used they are almost extinct in a four-letter-word world of the present media. The Congress should meet at a pool with a dunking chair. Each member should be given ten words from the list and be dunked in water, fully clothed for each error of definition. Those who are dunked even once, has to get to the end of the line, and await his or her second chance.

Each time the person misses only one word on his second chance, has to go to the end of the line for a third try. If these words are not challenging enough, guest professors should provide a better, more comprehensive list. Because if a person in Congress does not know the difference between a white lie and calumny, he or she has no business being in Congress, because the degree between a lie and calumny is large, and the difference between calumny and a white lie is even larger. This would hopefully cause the Representative to restrict calumnious speech and replace it with more accurate descriptions when speaking of a member of a different branch of government. And it better be the truth when a Congressman or Senator speaks.
States should also consider giving their candidates who are running for office vocabulary words that will confront them from the first to the last day of their terms. Americans are tired of using broad-brushed critiques that have such deep holes in them, the rhetoric might get burned in the fires of Congressional hell. Candidates should also need to be evaluated for mathematical and numeric senses since they will need to know how many $20 bills fit in a B-52, and the total amount of money that would be shipped secretly to a hostile nation by someone who is not authorized to sneak around America's back with throwing good money after bad.
