California first state to sue Trump regime to protect sanctuary cities

Politico - California has become the first state to sue the Trump administration over its anti-sanctuary cities policy.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said the state's suit argues that the Justice Department is violating the Constitution by trying to implement a new policy that would deny grants to jurisdictions that fail to give immigration authorities access to local jails or fail to give immigration officials 48 hours’ notice on the release of prisoners being sought on immigration charges.

California is joining two localities already suing over the policy change the Trump administration announced last month, Chicago and San Francisco.

Actually it might be really good if the Trumnp adminsitration cut off police funding for sanctuary cities. then they could fire all the police officers and we would be safer.
