You don't see that this is nullification by cities and states of federal law(s), interfering with the apprehension of alien, illegal at that, felons.
Nondifference than what Presidents Jackson and Lincoln faced.

In a letter to de Blasio last month, ICE Acting Director Matt Albence noted that ICE’s New York City Enforcement and Removals Office issued detainers on 7,526 subjects who had criminal histories, including 3,500 assaults, 1,500 DUIs, 1,000 sex crimes, 1,000 weapons offenses, 500 robberies and 200 homicides.
So what does the sanctuary refer to in sanctuary cities? Sanctuary from what? There is a reason why cities are not reporting immigration status. They are harboring criminals and aiding and abetting their continued presence with taxpayer dollars.
You don't need quotes around the word illegal. Those people are here illegally whether they breached the border or for any other reason. Your quotes just show you don't like that very effective and accurate label.
Trump is right to take the action to deny funds to those cities. No immigration reporting? No support.
You picked the wrong guy to try and parse words.
Take the DEA for example, they are 'aiding and abetting' foreign criminal organizations, by means of their tough drug laws enforced in the US...this sets up the PERFECT marketplace for the cartels and ensures they will continue to profit! This should not be tolerated anymore than allowing illegal immigrants to do as they please.
Considering what the DEA is doing, the Govt doesnt have much room to talk about 'sanctuary cities'!!!

Ha ha ha
Impeach away. It will be like merit badges and he'll have the entire set.

No. Not ones that he does not like, just the ones that are outright breaking the law.

There is no law that obliges local authorities to cooperate or assist the Federal government in their immigration enforcement efforts. If the President is allowed to tie funds to State compliance with his or her policy decisions, it will be interesting times. What if, for example, the President conditioned the release of certain aid on redrawing its Congressional districts in a certain way? Or tied it to the State passing a law that changed the way Electoral College votes are allocated? This is a slippery slope indeed.
There is no law that obliges local government to cooperate with the Federal government on immigration enforcement. No law. Not a law being ignored, but no law. None.
If you are having trouble with this, find someone nearby who can explain it.

If someone crosses our border illegally, is it legal or illegal? If you need help, go get your grandchildren to help you out or any kid in kindergarten.
