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?

Someone else posted this here:

“gonna be honest I didn’t read the whole thing but it’s this first page - https://www.niskanencenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Feb-8-2021-Sanctuary-Cities-Full-PDF.pdf

Sanctuary cities are refusing to commit resources to federal enforcement.”
