Jennifer J. Lee: The legal limits of Trump’s crackdown on sanctuary cities like Philadelphia

As Kit Johnson blogged, the Trump administration earlier this week announced an executive order purporting to crack down on so-called sanctuary cities. 

Professor Jennifer J. Lee considers “The legal limits of Trump’s crackdown on sanctuary cities like Philadelphia“:  “The federal government’s efforts to punish sanctuary cities will undoubtedly be mired in legal challenges across the country. Yet Philadelphia officials must still decide in this moment whether to stand strong with the city’s current sanctuary policies.”
