Nobody can waste more time, money, and resources accomplishing less than Republicans.
States cannot permit sanctuary cities. They are not a different country. I am glad the Feds are suing California.

There have been vicious crimes committed by those who would have been deported had it not been for sanctuary cities. This is not acceptable.
Governor Brown, you have no right to endanger our families. Is that clear to you? Our safety precedes your ideology. OK?
I guess the big question is how will the federal government force the state government to do the federal governments job.
After nearly a year of threats, the Trump administration made its most aggressive move to date against a familiar target of its ire: California and its immigration policies.
Late Tuesday evening the department filed a federal lawsuit against the state and its top officials to stop a cluster of so-called "sanctuary state" bills -- a move that puts the administration on offense but is nonetheless likely to generate heated litigation over the boundaries of immigration authority.

Don't agree. Keeping State Officials from intimidating witnesses and cooperative reporters regarding an issue over which they have no Legal Authority, is an important step to maintaining the Rule of Law and a Republican Form of Government.
State Officials cannot give themselves powers expressly delegated to the Federal Government, nor actively interfere with those powers.
It's not merely 'non-cooperation'.
A state that says you'll be fined $10,000 for voluntarily cooperating with Federal Authorities on a Federal-only matter is the state is actively interfering aka obstructing.
Not to mention a threat to the rule of law from States punishing the right of individuals to cooperate with Authorities and overstepping their bounds into a field they have no jurisdiction.
There are states that don't allow any employee records to be released to any law enforcement agency without a warrant. Where is the outrage about that obstructing of law enforcement?

Oh So Love going out and seeing Bikers, Aryan Brotherhood, Skinheads, followers of Richard Spence, Methheads, druggies of every description, wannabes etc. in the locker room and on the streets covered with gang tats and knife/bullet scars. It makes me feel that my government is doing all it can to protect my safety.
.
Hanging around the Aryan Brotherhood are we ?
Or just your run of the mill Bikers - chapters all over the country and they come in multiple colors, ethnicities etc. but predominately white so you won't ever have to feel left out - isn't that swell ?
Funny the AG isn't going after these groups
Why is it the right wingnuts are huge advocates of states rights except when they aren't? Nothing like having a firm set of principles.

I see so we should waste money on a lawsuit that won't be won?
What right is that? Where is that right established?
This will be a nothing cheeseburger until some mayors and sheriffs start getting arrested.
People are being <>Bcompelled to make sure the federal government is doing their job. No warrant no search.
There is no obstruction. Having procedures in place is not obstruction.
So we can assume you would be cool with individual states banning abortion? Of course you wouldn't. I don't see any Red States going against Federal abortion laws right now, so the State's rights hypocrisy is firmly with the Democrats right now.
Bob, think about your position. You are saying a State Government can compel people through fines NOT to cooperate with the Federal Government.
Ca has procedures in place. Its called ab 450. So there is not obstruction. Glad you agree.
The feds just need to get a warrant or court order for employment records
States can require through fines that a business require the federal government get a judge to sign off on a warrant if they want to see employment records.
You can't have it both ways.
What law are they being compelled to break? The federal government should know not to try and violate citizens rights now Californians will be fined if they allow the federal government to violate citizens rights.
