Charging that so-called "sanctuary" cities that protect illegal immigrants are jeopardizing domestic security, Attorney General Bill Barr announced a slew of additional sanctions that he called a "significant escalation" against left-wing local and state governments that obstruct the "lawful functioning of our nation's immigration system."
Speaking at the National Sheriff’s Association 2020 Winter Legislative and Technology Conference in Washington, D.C., Barr said the Justice Department would immediately file multiple lawsuits against sanctuary jurisdictions for unconstitutionally interfering with federal immigration enforcement, and implement unprecedented national reviews of left-wing sanctuary governments and prosecutors.

Seems to me like Oakland Mayor, Libby Schaaf, should be prosecuted for the stunt she pulled.

How about getting a majority in the house and senate with Donald Trump in the White House next year?
Then, pass a law that makes it a felony to obstruct or fail to cooperate with federal immigration law. Put a few of these mayors and city council people in prison for a year might be the only solution to this problem.

NO....NO....Mr. Barr Go after the criminals who tried to overthrow our President. Deal with the sanctuary cities

I believe this kind of stuff was called the rule of law. It’s time to bring that old idea back.

There are a lot of countries in the global community where the Rule of Law means nothing. The Rule of Law is what gives us the right to pledge allegiance to God and country where there is "liberty and justice for all", but we're all aware that that concept has become a big joke and it worries and frightens us. Hopefully, with the President's lead, we can get back to being a country where the Rule of Law is respected and obeyed.
What countries that are full of chaos thrive? None of them.

So a 'whistleblower' will call Schiff's staff and claim he heard from someone deep inside the White House but not acually on the call but heard forom some one that heard the conversation through a wall that Trump colluded with Barr to break the Santuary City prepossed but Nadless to protect cities from Federal law lack of enforcement and thus the new impeachment begins.

Trust now that the impeachment scam is finished, the gloves are off, finally.
Trust the DOJ is large enough to do this and continue work on the FISA, and other abuses from the previous administration.

I don't understand. The federal government makes immigration policy--that's settled law. Why hasn't the Supreme Court taken up this issue? Willfully violating federal law (which is supreme) should be met with prosecutions.

Why aren't the sanctuary city/county/state decision makers held liable for the crimes of the illegals?

Start arresting governors, mayors, city councilmen and judges who don't follow federal immigration law.

DOJ, here is a hot tip, the Governor of NY state is breaking Federal Law by harboring illegal invaders and giving them NY Driver's licenses. Please arrest ASAP and throw in a body cavity search while you are at it.

It’s past time for enforcement of federal law on sanctuary cities. After all the dems continually reminded us Obamacare overrode state law.

Good. Let the lawsuits begin. We'll wait until it gets to the SC and see if Roberts was blackmailed again.

#10, the Supreme Court can’t take up an issue until a lawsuit goes through the lower courts first and then arrives in their docket.

This is great news. Seeking injunctions against various political entities and possibly going for criminal charges against some prosecutors who file lower charges against illegal aliens than against Americans for identical crimes. Nail them to the wall. Hit them HARD.
