And the reason why he did it completely sailed over your head.

This isn't about cities he supposedly doesn't like! This is about rogue cities who are violating federal immigration laws! Now you're just making things up that he would target cities that don't vote for him. Get a grip, will you?

Maybe you should scream at the sky since you seem to hate the rule of law??

Godspeed.
I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area and I think it's great that they are cutting this city off. I hope the city goes bankrupt. Plus isn't there a bill being passed that allows victims and their families to sue the city if an illegal has committed a crime against them, since the city didn't turn them over to ICE to be deported? I hope that bill passes too. I'm tired of seeing Americans and those who are in this country legally being victimized by illegals who are in this country illegally but have been protected by these such cities. I'd love nothing more then to see San Francisco, among other big cities, go completely bankrupt, because of this. Gavin Newsome needs to be removed/relieved of duties from office as well.

I get a kick out of it after watching KROM's "People Behaving Badly" where they use multiple police agencies to enforce traffic codes.

What goes around comes around.

I'll give you this - you're not afraid of being the only dissenter, even when your position is indefensible.

There's a reason that other TDS sufferers haven't piled on in this thread. Most know when to keep their mouths shut.

Did it though? My concern is about the potential abuse of power, not the sanctuary city status. But you missed that.

Mmm, just playing the devil's advocate and looking outside this narrow perspective people have.
