White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley said Saturday that the White House was working with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to try to send undocumented immigrants to sanctuary cities.
"They have said they wanted all of these illegal aliens into their communities," Gidley said on Fox News' "Justice with Judge Jeanine."
...
Gidley also said President Trump is "looking at any and all options" to send undocumented immigrants to these communities.
He also said the White House was determining whether it can legally send undocumented immigrants to these cities.
"We're trying to figure out if we can do that legally," he said.
Shortly after Gidley's appearance, Trump tweeted, saying that the U.S. "has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities."
I love this! I thought Nan's eyes were gonna pop out of their sockets.
That he waits until they think they've bestest him is priceless. I really wonder if Trump comes up with these ideas, or someone he surrounds himself with suggests it.
Trump is like Bugs Bunny - he waits until they think they have him cornered, then he pulls the rug out from under them. "Got you now, you rascally rabbit! ..... Oh noooooooooo........* splat *"
My sense is that he's going for a couple of things here:
To make sanctuary cities knock it off and stop breaking the law
Nor would Trump be by following the la requiring him to release illegal aliens in specific areas.Sanctuary cities are not breaking the law.

I must have missed this announcement.Sanctuary cities are not breaking the law.
I see your
I must have missed this announcement.
As immigration is a Federal issue how can any city/state legally provide sanctuary? I'm not saying these localities/states have to arrest illegals, but to impede Federal officers in the execution of their duties cannot possibly be legal. Ergo, they would be breaking the law.
I hope we're not splitting hairs here...? As you have time/interest to elaborate I would be very interested in this.

Because, seriously, who cares Trump was watching Judge Jeanine? Because it doesn't matter, what matters is "The troll's the thing." - Shakespeare

Thanks for the reply. I think we agree about the Feds "forcing" states to use their budgets....No hair splitting necessary.
My comment to which you are replying is predicated on the SCOTUS (can’t recall case just now; will update later if I can.) finding that the federal government cannot “force” state governments to enforce federal laws. Put another way, the feds cannot force states to use their budgets to enforce federal laws.
Thank you. I'm not picky. Anything's fine. So long as it's Lays Potato Chips.I’m out. I am, now, available to replenish the snacks for the game. :

But my point still stands; as I understand the full intent of "sanctuary city" it not only means not assisting the Feds (which I have some problem with), it also means impeding them (which I have HUGE problems with).

Right because the requirement to call ICE and report a suspected illegal
