SCOTUS Rejects Review Of California’s Unconstitutional Sanctuary Law

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected to hear the Trump administration’s request to strike down several provisions of a California “sanctuary” law that limits the cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration agents.

There are several questions that one must ask. Why would any court allow, any person, to help any illegal alien, using the power of the state to shield them from deportation from I.C.E.? According to US Code, it is illegal to help an illegal alien do anything, to get into and avoid deportation from the US.

US Code Title 8, Section 1324

Bringing in and harboring certain aliens

(A)Any person who—

“(i)

knowing that a person is an alien, brings to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever such person at a place other than a designated port of entry or place other than as designated by the Commissioner, regardless of whether such alien has received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States and regardless of any future official action which may be taken with respect to such alien;

(ii)

knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of the law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law;

(iii)

knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of the law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;

(iv)

encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry or residence is or will be in violation of law; or

(v)

(I)

engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or

(II)

aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,
shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).”
In light of the US Code, and the reality that the Federal government has the authority on how to handle the borders and all immigration policies, sanctuary cities should infuriate every law-abiding American. California and other progressive cities are aiding & abetting millions of illegal aliens, period!
The perplexing issue for conservatives is why lower courts have been allowed to rule in favor of California’s laws preventing cooperation with ICE, in direct conflict with the code.

“The federal government argues that SB 54 “concededly ‘frustrate[s]’ and ‘obstructs’ federal immigration enforcement,” as it eliminates the chance for immigration agents to take illegal immigrants into custody prior to release.

In its argument, the federal government says that the SB 54 provisions encroach on the federal government’s right to set conditions under which illegal immigrants in the United States may be detained, released, and removed, adding that the federal government has absolute and exclusive “power over immigration, naturalization, and deportation.”

“The ‘supremacy of the national power’ in this area ‘is made clear by the Constitution, was pointed out by the authors of The Federalist in 1787, and has been given continuous recognition by this Court,’” the petition stated.

 

As in other matters, the SCOTUS has been presented with conflicting arguments from progressives. In this case, California argued that they have the Constitutional rights to govern immigration laws in their states.

This contrasts with the July 2010 federal lawsuit against Arizona’s state immigration laws, here is AG Holder’s argument for the Federal government sole responsibility to set immigration laws.

“Setting immigration policy and enforcing immigration law is a national responsibility,” Holder said. “A patchwork of state laws will only create more problems than its solves.”

Again the American citizens are presented with open lawlessness in our government without the protections of law and order from the courts. The SCOTUS, which recently has been considered conservative, is showing the weight of trying so hard to be neutral, they are abdicating their Constitutional responsibilities at our nation’s expense.
