DOJ fires back at Chicago's sanctuary-city lawsuit threat

The Department of Justice on Sunday fired back at Chicago’s plans to sue the feds for threatening to withhold crime-fighting money to sanctuary cities.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel formally announced Sunday that his city would file a lawsuit Monday against the Trump administration for vowing to block federal grants to cities that don't comply with federal immigration law.

The courts seem to have consistently ruled for both federal enforcement of immgration and the withholding of funds for noncompliance with the law. Sounds like Chicago is spitting up a rope.

In the meantime, Miami has "caved in" for the money.
They'll no longer operate as a sanctuary city, and yield to the demands of ICE.
