Graham Introduces Legislation To End Sanctuary Cities Forever

[DigitalDrifter]

Don't know if this is an actual serious attempt, or if it's all for show.
It needs to happen. We need to make it clear to Democrats that these safe zones for illegals are no longer going to be tolerated.

Graham Introduces Legislation To End Sanctuary Cities Forever

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today introduced legislation to end the practice of sanctuary cities once and for all. Graham plans to seek a vote on this legislation when the Senate considers the fiscal year (FY) 2026 appropriations measure for the Department of...

Not going to pass. The federal government can enforce immigration law, but it cannot jail governors, mayors, or sheriffs for refusing to do the federal government’s job for it. The Supreme Court has been clear on that for decades.

Key precedent (settled law, not controversial):

• New York v. United States
• Printz v. United States
• Murphy v. NCAA (2018 – reaffirmed and strengthened the rule)

Under these cases, Congress may enforce federal law itself, but it may not:

• Order state or local officials to participate
• Criminalize their refusal to assist
• Punish them for following state law instead of federal preferences

I guess ICE operations in blue cities will go on forever then.

I have a feeling Tom Homan is A-OK with that.

Well, it would be unconstitutional, but other than that.

But those on the left can be arrested for interfering with federal law enforcement officers doing their jobs.

Seems to me that it would be clear by now that there is no such thing.

 

[scruffy]

There are no sanctuary cities.

That concept is a feeble delusion of the leftard mind.

Good. That's where all the sanctuary cities are.

 

[scruffy]

The law means nothing to libtards.

The law means nothing to libtards.

Certainly when it comes to any immigration laws, they will break them wherever they can.

The federal government cannot force state and local authorities to work with ICE.

The Republicans are the biggest lawbreakers in history. They have turned ICE into their Gestapo. They have assaulted American citizens and killed them. Trump is now underwater on immigration.

The law means nothing to Trump and MAGA. Those are the facts.

 

[busybee01]

But those on the left can be arrested for interfering with federal law enforcement officers doing their jobs.

The fact is that none of this is happening. They are making false claims and need to be held accountable.

I don't expect it to go very far. I think it is a bargaining chip but I agree it would be great if it did. It only makes sense that sanctuary cities and states are blatantly aiding and abetting known criminals who have violated US federal immigration law.

 

[Blaster]

If SCOTUS had the balls they could end sanctuary cities or states.

 

[BluesLegend]

Lock those Dem MF'ers up for 10 years minimum. If we don't put a stop to this by punishing the Democrat's lawlessness they will go right on wrecking the country with their illegals election rigging scam.

That's not what the bill is about dummy. Pull your head out of your ass, we can all use a break.

That is in fact what is happening.

They can arrest any state or local official for interfering in the exclusive province of the federal government’s law enforcement efforts. I suppose you’ve never grasped the Supremacy Clause.

You have no clue about this topic.
