No. It is very fortunately true. And it is NOT a federal abuse of powers when we want the states to stop giving sanctuary to illegal immigrants whom have actually committed crimes.
Misdemeanor not felony, like Trump.

Yes. Mayors of sanctuary cities have abused their power.
They are defending from federal overreach. How far would you let the federal government go in taking over state responsibility? And that is both red and blue states even though blue are now targeted.

Has Minnesota failed to honor any laws? Have they not honored judicial warrants or anything like that? My impression is that most of the ICE operation doesn't use the same kinds of warrants, etc, that normal law enforcement does. I'm not saying their operation is illegal (though some may be), but that they don't do the kinds of things that would require other law enforcement agencies to respond. Am I missing something?

You're on the right track. Yes the warrants are different. I can't enumerate the differences, but I do know they are.
The current administration considers one a "sanctuary city" if the local enforcement agency(s) do not assist Border/Immigration with the local resources.

The city I live in has been deemed a "sanctuary city." All the mayor/police department has said is that they will not use their (our) local resources to assist/facilitate the federal enforcement. They stay out of the way and do not hinder.. but do not take resources from the city for federal use. I don't want tax dollars earmarked for local use commandeered by the Feds, ymmv. They have their own funding and resources.

So tell me, during the Obama administration, the governor of Arizona tried enforcing immigration law because they felt that the federal government was not doing their job. So it went to the Supreme Court, and it was ruled that only the federal government can enforce immigration law. How far will will I let the federal government take over a state's responsibility? That is a dumb question because enforcing immigration law is strictly a federal responsibility. A responsibility that these mayors and their lunatic followers are trying to obstruct. Now, if local police actually notified ICE when they arrest an illegal immigrant after they committed a crime so that immigrant could be safely transfered into federal custody to be deported, there would be no need for ICE raids. The bottom line is this, the Immigration enforcement is solely a federal responsibility. Liberal mayors do not want immigration law enforcement because they politically benefit from it

.. it went to the Supreme Court, and it was ruled that only the federal government can enforce immigration law.
got it (emphasis added on "only")
How far will will I let the federal government take over a state's responsibility?
(sic) wait, it's the fed's responsibility. per SCOTUS.. isn't that what you just said? Now you say it's the state's?
..enforcing immigration law is strictly a federal responsibility.
back to square one (again emphasis added)
A responsibility that these mayors and their lunatic followers are trying to obstruct.
how so? by staying outta' the way?
Now, if local police actually notified ICE when they arrest an illegal immigrant after they committed a crime so that immigrant could be safely transfered into federal custody to be deported, there would be no need for ICE raids.
so now it's a local responsibility again? make up your mind.
The bottom line is this, the Immigration enforcement is solely a federal responsibility.
Okay, now we're back to federal responsibility. This being the case there's no such thing as a "sanctuary city", merely cities allowing the fed to do the fed's job.

Akita is wrong that it is a state responsibility, but it is not "only" a federal matter. Arizona v. United States begins, "The Federal Government’s broad, undoubted power over immigration and alien status rests, in part, on..." What this means is that the federal government is the primary actor when it comes to immigration. States may cooperate with the federal government in various ways, but they cannot establish their own immigration laws in a way that is independent of the federal government.

The bottom line here is that Akita's claim that the federal government has usurped the state government's jurisdiction vis-a-vis immigration is simply false on its face.

I would bet the federal government would help out if it were a matter of money. Perhaps all federal money that supports local law enforcement should be cut off if a city refuses to cooperate with the federal government:

Where have you been? Hiding under a rock? Or are you deliberately being obtuse? Your statement is clearly not worth wasting time over.

That law doesn’t say obstructing or resisting an officer is a felony. Read it again carefully.
I think you can infer it when it talks about a one year penalty for simple assault and then talks about a longer sentence "where such acts involve physical contact with the victim of that assault or the intent to commit another felony."

A misdemeanor can only carry a sentence of one year or less.
Any offense that carries more than a year sentence is a felony

...And this means that the felony with respect to18 U.S. Code § 111 exists, "where such acts involve physical contact with the victim of that assault or the intent to commit another felony."

Killing people who are protecting immigrants is not the Holy Spirit.
She failed, the ICE officer survived. Like the rest of ICE, who are trying to deport the worst of the worst, they are protecting immigrants and the rest of us. The longer it take ICE to get the sexual predators and other violent criminals that Walz and Frey saw released into the population, the more victims there will be. The 11th Airborne is better suited to handling mobs, I think that is a good move that will make a difference.

The federal government has announced the arrests of nearly two dozen criminal illegal immigrants convicted of violent crimes, including murder and rape, in Minnesota amid social tensions following the shooting of Renee Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis last week.
In a statement published Saturday, ICE shared information on what it called "the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens that our brave ICE officers arrested, despite the efforts of rioters and sanctuary politicians to protect them."
“Regardless of staged political theatrics, ICE is going to continue to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota and elsewhere," ICE Director Todd Lyons said in a statement. “Some of these criminal aliens have had final orders of removal for 30 years, but they’ve been free to terrorize Minnesotans. ICE’s arrests prevent recidivism and make communities safer, but it feels like local politicians want to ignore that part and drum up discontent rather than protect their own constituents.”
