1. There's no such thing as 'sanctuary' cities.

The Constitution has long acknowledged that states and local jurisdictions cannot be compelled to enforce Federal laws – including Federal immigration law.

There is likewise no such thing as a ‘noncompliant’ jurisdiction because, again, states and cities are not required to ‘comply’ with Federal requests to assist with enforcing Federal immigration law.

The administration’s policy is in fact politically motivated, the withholding of funds from cities that exercise their right to not comply with Federal law enforcement is illegal and un-Constitutional.
