I get all that. I have a better knowledge and understanding than most.And as it has been pointed out already, Sanctuary doesn't mean anything to the Feds. All it means is that LOCAL officials are NOT Assisting the Feds with Deportation and Enforcement efforts. That does NOT mean Feds don't have the authority. All this Sanctuary City BS has just made the job of ICE harder. It has not made them close up shop. They absolutely have 100% Authority regardless of any local ordinance. It is the same reason Marijuana shops and growers CAN be arrested on Federal charges even though the State has legalized or decriminalized it. Just because the Feds CHOOSE not to pursue something, does not mean they have relinquished their right to do it. And you can bet Asses to Teakettles, Balls to Bones... IF the BATFE wants to pursue charges against someone for violating Federal Firearms laws, they damn sure will. And NO state or local law is going to able to stop it. Hell, I've seen the Feds take over criminal cases just to get a more extreme sentence. So don't ever think that a Sanctuary Law (Which aren't even laws per se) or local directive makes someone untouchable. In 2019 over 267,000 people were deported by ICE...
The point is they are goingdown the path that the Dems set. They are finally playing dirty. This law will pass and then force action. Action of who remains to be seen. It is sending a strong and clear message and is long over due.
stay tuned.
