Miami Beach: Mayors and Immigration

miami beach: They are reviewing resolutions that would strongly oppose Trump's crack down on illegal immigration, according to Metro News. Mayors were struck a blow in January, when Trump ordered to cut funding to jurisdictions that deny in some way co-operation with federal immigration agents. More than 250 mayors are meeting at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Miami Beach to take a stance on issues from climate change to the federal budget and health care. Most cities have defied the order, and a federal judge blocked it in April, at least temporarily. Garcetti argued that all he wants from immigration officials is that they conduct enforcement in a lawful, constitutional court-ordered way, referring to policies where sanctuary cities demand warrants to turn over suspects to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Some of us are proud to be places of sanctuary, to protect immigrants, but this idea that we're in violation of something, I think is a big charade, said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
