What to Do About California’s Sanctuary Cities
 
By Mark Krikorian on March 5, 2018

California Democrats have continued their attempts to nullify federal immigration law. Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf warned illegal aliens last week that ICE was planning an operation in the Bay Area. ICE Acting Director Tom Homan slammed Schaaf's "reckless" comment, saying that it endangered officers and the public and helped hundreds of criminal aliens avoid arrest.

If you're saying, "There oughta be a law," there is. Three of them, at least. My colleague Dan Cadman explains how the mayor could be charged with harboring, obstruction, and/or "conspiracy against the United States."

The question is whether the Department of Justice will go forward with charges against Schaaf or other officials in sanctuary jurisdictions; the Department of Homeland Security asked federal prosecutors in January to look into criminal charges against sanctuary leaders.

I was the first in this forum to assert that which must be done:

The administration must send in ICE and federal officials, backed by government troops, to arrest those at the top levels of such cities, including arrest at the threat of gunpoint if that is required. And if the cities (or states) put local or state police in the way of such arrests, they must be removed -- by force, if required. And then prosecuted as well.

Call it a "Little Rock, 1957, moment" if you wish.

But short of this there is no other way to effectively force these cities (and a few states) to comply with immigration laws.
