“The Iowa House of Representatives is considering House File 265, which would prohibit state, county, city, and educational institutions from limiting or restricting enforcement of federal immigration laws. The bill is based on the myth of sanctuary cities and campuses, raises major Fourth Amendment issues, and will cost counties and cities money they could otherwise invest in their communities.
Legal sanctuaries are a myth. There are zones, within 100 miles of a border, in which some constitutional provisions are applied in a limited manner to enforce immigration law, but none in which federal immigration law does not apply. To be clear, there is no part of the United States in which federal immigration law is not in force.”
The myth of the 'sanctuary city'
Needless to say, Trump and other ignorant, hateful bigots on the right will continue to attempt to propagate this ridiculous lie as the administration threatens to pursue the reckless, irresponsible, and unwarranted policy of punishing mythical ‘sanctuary cities,’ when in fact no such jurisdictions exist.
