Let’s call them ‘constitutional cities,’ not ‘sanctuary cities,’ okay?
David Post on the Volokh Conspiracy defends “sanctuary cities” from the attacks of the Trump administration He concludes as follows:
“Jurisdictions that refuse to honor [ICE detainer] requests are not providing “sanctuary” for people who break the law; they are providing “constitutional protections” for those individuals. The administration has started publicizing those jurisdictions here, on the ICE website, to try, I suppose, to shame them into compliance. But to my eyes, the list — Ithaca N.Y.; Travis County, Tex.; Boulder County, Colo.; Iowa City Iowa; Bernalillo, N.M. — is an honor roll of sorts of cities and counties that will not let themselves be swept up into Trump-induced hysteria about undocumented immigrants. More power to them.”
