why is it legal for any area in the united states to designate themselves as a "sanctuary city"? isn't it against federal law to harbor illegal aliens?  as an american i'm all for the deportations. i just wish chicago wouldn't lock down their schools and prevent dea and ice agents from entering. i live in illinois and in this state local law enforcement and swat aren't allowed to work with federal agents or ice in sanctuary cities. what in the fuck? maybe i don't understand the nuances of the law but don't federal agents have jurisdiction to arrest anyone who is in violation of the law nationwide?  who directs the local cops and swat teams that could assist in arresting illegals to refuse cooperation with federal agents? that is obstruction of justice. for example, even though florida has sanctuary cities they have authorized all their state agencies to work with federal law enforcement in executing these deportations. it should be a major crime to do so otherwise. governor pritzker and the mayor of chicago are playing with fire imo and are destroying the state. watch trump come down hard on chicago. i'm happy to see tom homan in chicago assisting ice and kristi noem in nyc. these states are deplorable when it comes to managing crime.
