Appeals Court Grants Trump Administration right to snub sanctuary cities

Appeals court grants Trump administration win to snub ‘sanctuary cities’

"The Trump administration scored its first judicial win in its long-running battle to punish so-called sanctuary cities for defying federal immigration laws.

A three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a nationwide injunction barring Department of Justice from rewarding cities and counties that cooperate with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in deportations.

Los Angeles officials had sued to stop the DOJ’s Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program, saying that it amounted to federal coercion.

But in a 2-1 decision, the court found that the Trump administration has a right to reward behavior that it favors."

Awesome.

This probably pisses off a lot of libtards.

We need an “And 1” to this, lucky we have one.

Well this is certainly great news.

They honestly shouldn’t.

Forgot with one it was, but one of the founding fathers was pissed off when Congress gave money to a different country. He said the US should have to give a different country money that it collect from its citizens.

If the founding fathers were against such a concept, I don’t see why we ourselves shouldn’t be either.

Yeah, but leftists in general tend to hate our founding fathers though. They think they were all just a bunch of "old racist white men." In fact, many of them even go as far as to say that the United States as a nation is illegitimate because our ancestors "stole it from native Americans."

I love how they are "native" lol. They didn't cross the Bering Strait to get here, right?

Of course they did but leftist snowflakes think that since they got here before anyone else that it makes them "native."

ICE raids are supposed to start tomorrow --"for real" this time-- across the country, but I'm not getting my hopes up again like I did last time only to end up being disappointed again. I'll believe it only when it actually happens, not before.

Remember when Republicans used to champion state rights over big federal government interference?

This guy remembers...and this guy isn't even American.

Do you remember when the left used to be for free speech and tolerance?

How about when they were against censorship?

What a strange thing to say. I can't speak for any other republican voter but I still respect states' rights. And no state has a right to protect people who have no right to be in this country. Period. End of discussion.

No. What you respect is a state's right to do things you agree with.

They can still do their own thing, just not with federal dollars. 😉

A massive amount. Someone will come in here and say this really isn’t what happened and how it’s not a real win and Trump didn’t do anything

No, I meant exactly what I said. People who come here illegally are breaking the law, dude. If you disagree, then please show me where it's written in the Constitution that people who come here illegally have a right to stay.

Funny you accuse me of not respecting states' rights when leftists like you say that red states have to abide by federal law and allow women to get abortions. Why is it ok for the federal government to intervene in states' business on that issue but not when it comes to deporting illegal aliens?

"States rights" does not mean the federal government has absolutely no jurisdiction whatsoever. The idea is moreso what powers should justifiably be held by the federal government, and which ones aren't specific enough to the federal government such that they should be devolved to the states so each individual citizen has a more impactful vote over the laws they live under.

Something like border security is inherently a federal issue.
