Description

In a major setback to Trump’s attack on Blue States and State Sovereignty, a federal judge has just dismissed one of half a dozen falsely labeled “Sanctuary City” suits brought by Trump’s DOJ against Blue States and Cities and his political rivals who refuse to cooperate with funding or personnel to help Trump enforce his depraved Immigration policies. Michael Popok explains how this ruling will be the blueprint used by federal judges in NY, California, NJ, and other states as Federal Judges find new ways to deal Trump more losses.

I live in a Sanctuary City.... and YES it does mean immigrants here illegally are not pursued by local law enforcement. They won't ask them their status at traffic stops. They're allowed to get a driver license because it's safer that way than if they didn't have one at all. It's controversial but given what ICE is doing completely ignoring the courts and the law We are all going to need a sanctuary city to get away from the MAGA gestapo .

Blue cities and blue states should use his own words against him and sue for discrimination and lack of representation from the federal government.
