You may have heard of this thing called the 14th Amendment. It's in the Constitution. It means that every person is guaranteed the equal protection of the laws. If we employ state and local officials to enforce immigration laws, then state and local officials must enforce ALL federal laws. Doing that negates the separation of powers as contemplated in the Constitution of the United States.
When the government begins rounding up all the firearms as Joe Biden has promised to do, local and state Second Amendment Sanctuary Cities will not be protected because you wanted a ONE WORLD POLICE FORCE. Right now the feds cannot compel state and local officials from enforcing any unconstitutional law due to sanctuary. You cannot separate the concept and apply what you want just to immigration. The principle will apply to ALL of the laws on the books. That means that when Joe Biden becomes president, he can order state and local officials to confiscate all high capacity magazines and all semi-auto firearms. Currently the federal government cannot compel state and local officials to enforce federal laws. I realize you want the law to apply only to undocumented foreigners; the reality is, the law don't work that way. The reason sanctuary cities exist today is because the United States Supreme Court said that the federal government could not force state and local governments to enforce the Brady Bill (which is a gun law.) It's known as the anti-commandeering doctrine. The legal principle is that state and local governments cannot be compelled to enforce the unconstitutional law you cite above. IF you could prevail, then Second Amendment Sanctuary Cities would be deemed illegal in the future and pro gun law enforcement officials would be compelled to take your weapon. Currently those Second Amendment Sanctuary Cities rest assured that their local law enforcement will not comply with tyrannical gun laws.

We'v been through this before.
I'm not talking about "employ state and local officials to enforce immigration laws" I'm talking about those officials ABIDING BY US law. And if they don't - they go to jail, just like anyone else.
And since they haven't, with positive proof documented in their Sanctuary laws, they should all be in federal prisons right now. Possibly some of them, whose crimes resulted in loss of life, should receive the death penalty.

The sanctuary city violators are serious criminals. In the case of those whose sanctuary granting resulted in the death of innocent people, those responsible sanctuary mayors, city councilmen, or whatever, could receive the
death penalty. Read the statute. >>
