Judge tosses DOJ lawsuit against 4 New Jersey 'sanctuary cities'

[J_William_Ryan]

1. Very good.

There is, of course, no such thing as 'sanctuary cities.'

Federal immigration authorities are at complete liberty to enforce immigration laws in any jurisdiction.

And state and local jurisdictions are at complete liberty to not assist Federal authorities to enforce immigration laws; local jurisdictions that don’t provide assistance are not ‘interfering’ with the enforcement of immigration laws.

The Constitution has long held the Federal government cannot compel state and local jurisdictions to enforce Federal laws.
