The battle lines sharpened after Trump announced his nomination of an immigration hard-liner, Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, for attorney general.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee is undaunted. "Being a sanctuary city is in our DNA," Lee said in a tweet. "San Francisco will never be anything other than a sanctuary city."

Lupe Valdez, Sheriff of Dallas County, DACA/DAPA supporter and illegal-lover. I voted against her in 2016.
I don't actually live in Dallas...I'm in the suburbs, which is where most Dallas-Fort Worth residents actually live. (The Metromess is about 6.5 million strong. Dallas proper is about 1.3 million...Fort Worth, 800,000. The rest of us are in suburbia.)
My suburb is old and is a mile from the city line, which I frequently cross when running errands.
Dallas has a big illegal immigrant problem. HUGE. They're a scourge on the schools, the blue-collar neighborhoods, on public health, and on law enforcement. I live in Dallas County which houses Parkland Hospital, THE main public healthcare facility in this county and it's overrun with illegals. Well over half of births at Parkland are to indigent illegal mothers. Since I'm a resident of Dallas County and a homeowner here, my tax dollars get funneled there to pay for it. Yippee.
Its time for either Congress (best) or the Supreme Court (OK?) to revisit a 128 year old case (Yick Wo vs. Hopkins which bootstrapped and some say hi-jacked our Constitution by granting illegal aliens equal protection under the law under the 14th amendment. That case led to a series of federal cases which by judicial fiat (social engineering) granted illegal aliens the same rights as US citizens. Illegal populations are even counted to establish the number of electoral votes each state is entitled.
Why is this important? Because sanctuary cities are using these cases to justify their defiance of our immigration laws. When the unelected Supreme Court Justices legislate from the bench it destroys our representative democracy.

You might want to read the 14th Amendment:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I took the liberty of underlining the relevant words, which you seem to not understand. It says "person" instead of "citizen". Learn the difference.
Republicans control 34 States, so Trump should have no problem getting a Constitutional Amendment passed fixing the obvious flaws in the 14th Amendment.

Remove all federal funds from him and then interview him three months later, when he's only dressed in his underwear, his city has become deserted, and he's on his knees begging for food and water.
