DoJ: Sanctuary Cities? Yeah, They’re Fine

Idiocy from the DoJ[1]

The Justice Department sees it differently, saying Arizona is unconstitutionally interfering with the federal government’s role in immigration control.

“There is a big difference between a state or locality saying they are not going to use their resources to enforce a federal law, as so-called sanctuary cities have done, and a state passing its own immigration policy that actively interferes with federal law,” Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said.

So, it is not copacetic for Arizona to officially enforce what is actually federal law, yet, sanctuary cities? They’re cool, the DoJ won’t force them to follow federal law.

Meanwhile, have you heard that ICE has been directed to pick and choose[2] which illegal criminals they will take from the cities and states?
