President Donald Trump participates in a roundtable on immigration and border security at the U.S. Border Patrol Calexico Station in Calexico.
While there is nothing explicit in the Constitution prohibiting presidents from punishing states and localities for their policies, long-established precedent suggests Trump’s plan wouldn’t survive legal scrutiny.Some critics of Trump’s proposal have cited the 1st Amendment’s protection of those voicing disagreement with federal policy as relevant in this instance.
The court held that the federal government cannot simply require states to implement federal policies, and it cannot punish states for failing to cooperate.To some, the rule was poetic justice: If a state was unwilling to deal with a problem in the way the federal government had deemed best, then it should have to own any harms thereby caused.
Trump’s proposal for releasing immigrant detainees in sanctuary cities would do something very similar: punish jurisdictions that decline to honor requests to notify the federal government of noncitizens the state has in custody and detain them until the feds arrive. Sanctuary cities, even when they don’t provide information or assistance to the federal government, are not saying they want additional noncitizens to locate there.
opinion Illegal how? If the illegals are going to be released anyway, is there a law that says they are not to be released in cities whose residents most want illegals living in the country anyway?
opinion What are you talking about? Weren’t sanctuary cities created specifically for giving immigrants a safe space? This is what we wanted is it not
opinion Best idea ever

opinion Do it just to see Taxifornia go further down the drain untill they finally wake up and dump their leaders
opinion He knows where your buttons are and just how to push them to make you start showing who you really are.
opinion Its illegal in a sanctuary city? Ha!
opinion Add that Israel is America’s most faithful friend. Therefore, the Jordanian Kingdom should become an Israeli territory with the assistance of the United States. But the Republicans cannot do this, although the USA is the World's Strongest. Shame on Republicans!
opinion Are not only cities but states too. 5th richest country of the world must to help. Illegals are undocumented migrants and human beings. Detained ? Release them.
opinion TO THE RADICAL LEFT 'ANYTHING' PRESIDENT TRUMP DOES IS 'ILLEGAL.' BAN SANCTUARY CITIES AND STATES! BUILD THE WALL! NO AMNESTY! TRUMP 2020!
opinion Dirty politics is exactly the Democrats game, they are the experts. Illegal, you're not an expert and why would that worry any sanctuary city, they are open arms for illegals, unless they are full of BS.
opinion So.... NIMBY?
opinion Wow! How is dirty to give what is asked for? Sanctuary cities pride themselves in OpenBorders but are running scared when POTUS gives them what they asked for. Explain that one? POTUS bring illegals to LA! It's not like we have high poverty levels? FakeNews SanctuaryCities
opinion Sanctuary Cities must almost certainly be illegal. Sanctuary Cities are a direct cause of citizen deaths. Sanctuary Cities encourage illegal migration. Sanctuary Cities aid and abet alien criminals. Sanctuary Cities like LA cannot care for citizens let alone illegal migrants.
opinion Sanctuary cities are fun and games till their bluff is called.
opinion It’s not illegal.
opinion But The El Segundo loves illegals , the more the merrier ! More illegals the more votes and fundamentally changing America like Obama said ! Latinos are too stupid and corrupt apparently to have a valid country.
opinion I hope Trump drops them off right in front of Gavin Newsome’s house. That would be very apropos.
opinion Given current laws they can only be held a short time and facilities are inadequate. That is on Congress. So where do we send them? Sanctuary locations make sense.
opinion “almost certainly” FAKE NEWS
opinion Pretending to have the moral authority by making demands of others you are unwilling to submit to yourself is the ultimate “dirty politics.” LAT doesn’t believe it’s own pro illegal immigrant claptrap.
opinion And you think he cares about breaking the law, why?
opinion So it's ok to dump them anywhere....🤔
opinion I LOVE SEEING THE MEDIA PORTRAY GIVING SANCTUARY TO ILLEGALS; To shield an protect from our laws.. . . isnt hat what Sanctuary city means?
opinion Drop them all off in California and Minnesota
