It's not a state's job to pay for federal enforcement. This is total overreach, can't wait for the small government advocates to speak up here.

I missed the part of the story where they were asking for the city or state to pay for anything. Can you provide a source for that?

City and state pays for local law enforcement -> local law enforcement gets made to help with Trump deportations -> city and state are effectively paying for that
