JONATHAN TURLEY: Why blue states' new anti-ICE laws are unconstitutional virtue signaling

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : The new law, however, crosses the constitutional Rubicon by not only limiting the operation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) but also establishing a 1,000-foot "buffer zone" outside of buildings.
50% : to take all proper means to carry out the system which it provides."JUDGE ALLOWS ICE TO CONTINUE COURTHOUSE ARRESTS IN NEW YORK CITY FOLLOWING LEGAL CHALLENGEThe Illinois law also creates the ability to sue federal authorities for false imprisonment under state law and it creates a 1,000-foot circle around any state court, creating safe zones for illegal immigrants.Presumably, if you rent an apartment within one of those zones, you would be able to create effective immunity by simply signing a lease.
50% : With Illinois and other states pushing apps tracking ICE operations, a suspect could step outside onto a sidewalk or public space to claim protection from any civil arrest.
44% : The law makes courthouses equivalent to churches, where suspects can claim sanctuary not only when they cross the threshold but also within 1000 feet, unless, of course, ICE ignores the law.Recently, the chief judge in Cook County issued an order with the same prohibition.
38% : A few other judges in other states have issued similar orders.ILLINOIS LAWMAKERS PASS BILL BANNING ICE
37% : IN BLOCKING ICE COURTHOUSE ARRESTS DURING COURT PROCEEDINGSThe second problem is the Supreme Court, which has repeatedly rejected such state authority to dictate federal enforcement or policies.
23% : JB Pritzker has been ratcheting up the rhetoric against ICE and the Trump Administration for months, including analogies to the Nazis and claims that democracy is dying.
