    NEW ORLEANS - A federal appeals court in New Orleans planned to hear arguments Tuesday on a Texas law cracking down on so-called “sanctuary cities.”

    The Texas Legislature approved the law in the spring. It was challenged by several Texas city governments and civil rights advocates. It requires local law enforcement agencies to honor federal immigration requests to detain people in local jails for possible deportation.

This needs to get "pushed upwards" to the U.S. Supreme Court as soon as possible.

I'm thinking that the high Court could rule on Mr. Trump's side regarding the sanctuary issue.

Then... lower the boom and let the chips fall where they may.
