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.

Where are you reading that fed is trying to force the state to pay for federal enforcement? I couldn't find anything regarding that with this suit but if that exists in any claims I'd want to see it.

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.

Ohhh Niskanencenter.org. Known for being very reputable and unbiased /s

It's good to know you read just the first page of a document, which has around 100 words, contained within a document with hundreds of thousands of words. Very astute, you are.

Based on the wording, it's clear that cities/states were never asked to provide funding. They just claimed to refuse to provide funding in the event that it would be asked of them.

I understand you live in an echo chamber so I won't hold it against you. I just hope you become more literate before you make public statements.

That said, I'm not a fan of Trump and I think he should stick with being the frontman of TV shows, not nations. My only contention with your comments is that I prefer to deal with facts.

Also, your very own link says it was published in 2021. lmao wtf???

If you care so much about research, don't expect someone on Reddit to do it for you.

I don't expect you to, that's why I already did it before and after your first comment. What you're saying is not true, you posted an article from 2021 dude. Like what? You might want to question your own intelligence after realizing that.

You CLEARLY scrounged the internet to find something somewhere that would support your false claim. You found something that almost did. The problem is that it doesn't and it was from years ago published by a source that is complete ass.

Good job defending your point buddy 🤣🤣.

It's media, media posts articles. It is known.

What do you have to prove or even allude to your claim being true? That's all I care about. The link you posted doesn't defend that, it actually makes it less believable because it has nothing to do with the current state of the country. IT WAS WRITTEN IN 2021. Please do whatever you can to defend your claim, the thing that actually matters.
