Federal action was BLOCKED by a San Francisco court:
https://www.usnews.com/news/top-new...-court-ruling-on-funding-for-sanctuary-cities
In two previous Supreme Court decisions, Republicans Scalia and Roberts on separate occasions ruled that the federal government CANNOT commandeer the state's apparatus to enforce a federal mandate. Further, federal budgeting is under control of Congress, not the Executive (at least this is so in theory). One last consideration is the fact that we live in a society that claims to practice separation of church and state. Because of that, the government cannot legally intrude upon a church that grants sanctuary. On that basis, Trump has no valid authority over the actions of these cities and their churches/synagogues when they practice their biblical mandates of protecting those in need.

Exactly... you know the nation is in serious trouble when courts uphold evil as being legal.
They SHALL answer to the Lord for their evil... Justice will happen, you can count on it!
Life isn't like a box of chocolates... it's more like a jar of jalapeno's.
What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow...
Apparently, Forrest Gump was wrong.

Not only that but this guy comes on this site and spews all kinds of hate towards good people of America who want to raise their children in a safe world. He wants unfettered immigration so his filthy goat herding friends can cone over here and impose their backwards heathen lifestyles on us all. Not to mention he wants perverts to have the right to pee with your daughters. My offer still stands. If he is banned by the end of the month I'll give 50 a month to this site for one year.
A historical discussion about sanctuary cities and why local police enforcement have not cooperated with the Feds in rounding up suspected illegals for several years:
{After a 2014 judicial decision} ... The ruling had a large-scale ripple effect across the country. All told, there are now 364 counties and 39 cities that refuse to cooperate with ICE, according to data collected by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. Police chiefs and sheriffs decided that it was no longer worth opening up their departments to lawsuits in order to simply do ICE a favor.“This is not a bunch of left-wing radicals. These are sheriffs and police chiefs,” Fife said.
The shift was seldom sold as offering immigrants “sanctuary,” but rather, as a bid for improving public safety. Local cops couldn’t effectively do their jobs if immigrant communities refused, out of fear, to talk to them.
The result is a patchwork of sanctuary-type policies that look nothing like the original religious movement, but have evolved as a way for individual regions to cope with a sprawling and deeply broken federal immigration system. The laws are far from uniform.''

Mind you these are police and sheriffs who have indicated that such cooperation actually endangers the community because such cooperation silences the public who now refuse to assist police and it leads to very expensive litigation that bankrupts communities. Because of this Trump continues to lose in the courts, in the police precincts, and in the opinion of many in those sanctuary cities.

Trump's spending bill lacks funding for border wall and for enforcement of sanctuary cities crackdown:
Spending bill language omits border wall funding, sanctuary cities crackdown | Fox News
''The White House also backed away from language to take away grants from sanctuary cities that do not share information about people’s immigration status with federal authorities.''
It is clear from my earlier links that Trump was going to again lose his case in the federal courts. This is likely the reason why he is conceding the issue, at least at this point.
