Over a dozen states join Trump’s lawsuit against “Sanctuary State” California

Legal Insurrection: Earlier this month, we noted that California faced a lawsuit from the Department of Justice over its new status as a “Sanctuary State“.
 Several red and purple states have now boarded this particular “Trump Train”.

Texas and more than a dozen other states led by Republican governors got behind the Trump administration on Monday in its lawsuit over California’s so-called sanctuary laws that protect people in the U.S. illegally.

California’s laws are designed to interfere with or block federal immigration enforcement but the state does not have that authority, the other states said in a court filing in the U.S. Department of Justice’s lawsuit against California. The filing in federal court in Sacramento supports the Justice Department’s attempt to block the laws.

The states who have filed currently are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and West Virginia. The filings argue that California’s laws should be blocked on the same grounds that the SCOTUS struck down Arizona’s 2010 immigration lawREAD MORE

  2. I’d hope they’d put CA out of business (split it up into 3 conservative states & 1 libtard state), but then… CA’s been running on borrowed money, and borrowed TIME, for a couple of decades now… 😳

    I think you are new to Cal. Take it from and 11 th generation Cali the Browns ar our Kennedys. Pat was the most corrupt man in Cal for over 100 years. Nothing! Only Jesse Unruh was close; again nothin!
    As the lawyer from Teen says referring to the Bush Clan, “Laws are for little people!”! No Brown worries about the “law”.
