  • Bonta also said that any attempt Trump makes to deport US citizens together with their undocumented family members
  • something the president-elect has floated
  • would be unconstitutional and that his mass deportation plan is bound to violate individuals' due process rights.

The article from Vox discusses the tension between the Trump administration and sanctuary cities, particularly focusing on California's resistance to federal immigration enforcement. It outlines how sanctuary cities limit cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), often by not honoring ICE detainers or restricting local law enforcement from inquiring about immigration status. The Trump administration has responded with threats of withholding federal funds, legal action, and potential mass deportations. California, in response, passed laws like SB 54, which further entrenches its sanctuary state status by limiting state and local law enforcement's involvement in immigration enforcement. This has led to a significant political and legal battle, with implications for immigration policy, federalism, and the rights of undocumented immigrants. The article also touches on the broader implications of these policies, including the fear and uncertainty among immigrant communities, the potential for racial profiling, and the ongoing debate over the balance between local autonomy and national immigration enforcement.
