The city of Seattle on Wednesday announced a federal lawsuit over the Trump administration's threat to withhold federal grants to so-called "sanctuary cities," citing the 10th Amendment that deals with states' rights.

"Apparently the Trump administration, their war on facts, has now become a war on cities," Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said. He said the goal of the suit is to have a judge declare the order unconstitutional

San Francisco has already filed suit against the Trump administration over the executive order, also citing the 10th Amendment. "This strikes at the heart of established principles of federalism and violates the United States Constitution," attorneys for the city and county of San Francisco wrote in its complaint.

Honest question, Toddy.

Why do you blindly support ILLEGAL immigration?

I don't. What are you talking about? I am against what he is doing right now. A lot more people are getting deported right now than just violent criminals. It does not help anyone when families are getting ripped apart.

So wouldn't the States have to bring the suit?
