“Under debate is L.A.’s sanctuary policy, special order 40, which prohibits the police from enforcing immigration laws… This is preposterous. To arrest an American citizen for a crime, arrest warrants are rarely required; about 95% of arrests of citizens are warrantless. But in L.A., under the new rules, illegal criminals will have due process rights that guarantee them not just judicial review before they can be taken off the streets, but federal judicial review—the gold standard of all constitutional protections. Maybe home-grown criminals should renounce their citizenship and reenter the country illegally. It would be a constitutional windfall for them. It is a world turned upside down where border trespassers have more protections from a state they have already thumbed their noses at than legal residents.”
