re: Just announced: There will be an executive order on sanctuary cities today

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will begin rolling out executive actions on immigration Wednesday, beginning with steps to build his proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to two administration officials. He’s also expected to target so-called sanctuary cities and is reviewing proposals that would restrict the flow of refugees to the United States.
The president is expected to sign the first actions – including the measure to jumpstart construction of the wall – Wednesday during a trip to the Department of Homeland Security. Additional actions will be announced out over the next few days, according to one official.
Trump is said to still be weighing the details of plans to restrict refugees coming to the U.S. The current proposal includes at least a four-month halt on all refugee admissions, as well as temporary ban on people coming from some Muslim majority countries, according to a representative of a public policy organization that monitors refugee issues. The person was briefed on the details of that proposed action by a government official and outlined the expected steps for The Associated Press.
While the specific of Trump’s orders were unclear, both administration officials said Wednesday’s actions would focus in part on the president’s plans to construct a wall along the southern border with Mexico. He’s also expected to move forward with plans to curb funding of cities that don’t arrest or detain immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, – localities dubbed “sanctuary” cities – which could cost individual jurisdictions millions of dollars.
It appeared as though the refugee restrictions were still to be finalized. The person briefed on the proposals said they included a ban on entry to the U.S. for at least 30 days from countries including Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, though the person cautioned the details could still change.
There is also likely to be an exception in the refugee stoppage for those fleeing religious persecution if their religion is a minority in their country. That exception could cover Christians fleeing Muslim-majority nations.
Other executive actions expected Wednesday include bolstering border patrol agents and ending what Republicans have argued is a catch-and-release system at the border. Currently, some immigrants caught crossing the border illegally are given notices to report back to immigration officials at a later date.
If Trump’s actions would result in those caught being immediately jailed, the administration would have to grapple with how to pay for jail space to detain everyone and what to do with children caught crossing the border with their parents.

we shouldnt need executive orders to selectively enforce or not enforce laws.

I'm not sure why this is being portrayed as complicated. Send them back.

Fair criticism especially in major cities in Texas, California, etc. On any given arrest for criminal activity, they are much more likely to encounter an undocumented immigrant there than in a place like Pittsburgh or Nashville. That means they are going to be held until ICE can get involved.

Processing them and turning them over takes time. It may not be a problem in your town, but if some of these bigger southwest cities start actually enforcing the laws and holding people, we are going to need more resources to carry out the deportation process.
Money well spent IMO.

Grapple, really? Put up a tent compound and be done with it.

I was referring to cabinet appointments that Dems no doubt are slowing down.
