Sanctuary Cities Accuse Trump Administration of “Commandeering” Local Resources for Immigration Raids

“These are local governments, large and small, in very different parts of the state and the nation, that are taking a stand against the federal government’s attempt to unconstitutionally commandeer local resources to assist with immigration enforcement,” said Santa Clary County counsel Tony LoPresti in a statement. “These are jurisdictions that believe in local governments’ right to ensure that their limited resources are used to care for communities rather than tear them apart.”
