Newsom Said ICE Can’t Have California’s Illegal Alien Criminals — Trump’s DOJ Said ‘Hold My Beer’

The mechanics of this are important for conservatives in other sanctuary states to understand. You don’t need local law enforcement cooperation if you have a federal arrest warrant. You don’t need the sheriff’s sign-off. You don’t need the city council’s blessing. A federal judge signs the warrant. Federal agents serve it. The criminal goes to federal custody. California’s sanctuary bureaucracy is bypassed entirely.

This is how you enforce federal law in a state whose leadership has explicitly decided to obstruct it. Not by begging for cooperation that will never come. Not by threatening to withhold funding that courts will block. By going in with the legal authority that supersedes whatever Sacramento has put in state law.

Newsom is currently threatening to prosecute federal officials who try to clean up his state’s election system. His administration tried to buy classified ICE operational details on behalf of his wife’s Syria vacation request. And his sanctuary policies have been actively shielding child molesters and rapists from deportation proceedings for years.
