#9  Send a Federal Marshal with a simple document asking if they will enforce the relevant US Codes "(Y/N)?" to the Mayor and the heads of the law, legal and administration under them. We will see how many have the backbone to stand up and sign.

#8  #5 Actually, this is reckless endangerment, in-voluntary manslaughter, and depraved in-difference.

Criminal negligence. Examples of criminally negligent crimes are criminally negligent homicide and negligent endangerment of a child. Usually the punishment for criminal negligence, criminal recklessness, criminal endangerment, willful blindness and other related crimes is imprisonment.

The shoe fits.

#7  Considering funding cuts to sanctuary cities?

If taxes are raised to cover the Federal shortfall because, maybe people will think twice about who they elect for office. They might realize that elections have consequences. Trump might also consider bringing lawsuits against individuals who promote and maintain such nonsense--make them pay personally. Do these cities provide sanctuary for conservative-minded people or Trump voters? Did they provide sanctuary for Kate Steinle and others? I didn't think so.

#6  They can only raise so much in taxes. Cut off all federal funding to a city, and they are fucked.

I would also be in favor of arresting the heads of the city for breaking federal laws and also charge them as accessories to the crimes illegals so.

#4  You are legally bound for the Homicides and rapes you let happen while dis-arming your Citizens. This is far more than gross negligence. This is wanton lawlessness.

#3  The trouble with funding cuts is that the affected cities would just raise taxes to make up the shortfall.

IANAL, but it seems to me that "sanctuary city" mayors and city councils could be indicted/prosecuted for conspiracy to violate Federal immigration law. That could end this nonsense in a hurry.

#2  Add to that holding them financially and criminally responsible for the actions of their 'wards' who they refused to turn over.
