The Justice Department is demanding that so-called sanctuary cities comply with federal immigration laws:
Dept. of Justice sent letter to 23 cities/jurisdictions "demanding the production of documents that could show whether each jurisdiction is unlawfully restricting information sharing by its law enforcement officers with federal immigration authorities": https://t.co/BKvhNcSQbT pic.twitter.com/quKFsVjBhZ

Meanwhile, President Trump is hosting a meeting of U.S. mayors at the White House:

Bill de Blasio obviously had second thoughts on behalf of New York City’s sanctuary city status:
I will NOT be attending today’s meeting at the White House after @realDonaldTrump’s Department of Justice decided to renew their racist assault on our immigrant communities. It doesn’t make us safer and it violates America’s core values.

Following federal laws is for the little people but not super-progressive mayors, apparently:
Please @realDonaldTrump send Marines to drag this commie back to your office https://t.co/brBCifNtSk

It will probably be more productive in your absence, Comrade Mayor. https://t.co/9su1UEJr2K
