I know New York, built tremendous things there! Try putting up a Building without their permission, they'll find a thousand Laws..... Washington asks for help, suddenly nobody knows who has to do what!

They still take pictures of my Buildings, now need a Court to tell them if they can help ME. Incredible gratitude!

New York won't help, Judge says they don't have to..... Wonderful! Remember that next time they call Washington wanting something.

New York COULD help, they choose NOT TO!

SUGGESTED NEXT STEP

Appeal on the grounds that cooperation would be more convenient.

PUBLIC RECORD

A federal judge dismissed the administration’s challenge to New York City sanctuary laws on October 15. The judge ruled that federal law does not require local governments to detain immigrants at federal request or share custody information, and that Washington cannot compel local participation in immigration enforcement.
