Prosecuted for what? Has anyone actually articulated a law they'd be breaking if they failed to assist the federal government?

This is the question. No one has offered any pushback.

But to my eye, there is absolutely zero requirement to render any aid to the federal government. Now, you can't stand in the way of the law being enforced... but you're not required to assist them either. Which means, not a single dollar or hour of state or city money needs to go to it.

Correct. It’s been settled law since Truman.

I've studied the law pretty carefully, granted this isn't my area of expertise... in light of US v. Arizona... which these clowns pushed for exceptionally hard... it strikes me now that immigration is an exclusively FEDERAL issue... & Chicago (or anyone else) has no obligation to do anything.

Obstruction, he said it in the clip.

There is no “obstruction” charge for failing to help the government. Obstruction requires you to act. Failing to act is not obstruction.

Yeah, he was talking about mayor's that activity opposed it, he said you can assist or get out of the way and they wouldn't be prosecuted

That's fine... but that's not been their rhetoric. Their rhetoric has been to threaten prosecution of those who do anything but cooperate. If Governors or others refuse, Trump intends to try to use the full force of the USG against them unlawfully to intimidate them. So we shall see.

FWIW... and I'm open to lawyers commenting... there are two cases I feel on point that address this... one is called Printz... the other Murphy v. NCAA. Both say that States/Cities can't be compelled to help the Feds. So I'm curious as to what MAGA thinks these officials are required to do.

MAGA thinks that Der Trumpenfuhrer's orders should be obeyed, and they don't give half a shit about the law.

Ummm MAGA don't think. The whole gqp and their megaphone are performative art. Witness all the idiots who still, after 12 yrs, couldn't manage to figure out that Obamacare = ACA and if 45 can overturn it, they and their idiot relatives are screwed. But but but Biden made eggs $10.

Well that's fine... but you can't charge someone with "feelings"... you have to say "You broke this law." LOL! Even with a MAGA judge... because 12 jurors have to go "yeah this law got broken." LOL! :D

Oh so the thing is that there's one rule for MAGA and there are a whole other set of rules for everyone else.
