Trump threatens to dump immigrants into California’s ‘sanctuary cities’

The plan would call for busing migrants from detention centers near the border and releasing them into the districts of Democratic lawmakers and other opponents of Trump’s immigration policies.
Though many other states have sanctuary counties and cities, Trump has repeatedly singled out California for criticism.
“California certainly is always saying, ‘Oh, we want more people,’ ” Trump told reporters during an unrelated White House event Friday. “And they want more people in their sanctuary cities. Well, we’ll give them more people. We can give them a lot. We can give them an unlimited supply. Let’s see if they’re so happy....
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said of Trump’s idea: “It is illegal. It is immoral. It is unethical. It is sophomoric. It is petulant. And it is par for the course.”
Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, the Mississippi Democrat who leads the House Committee on Homeland Security, said even the suggestion of sending detainees to sanctuary cities is “a reminder that the Trump administration’s reckless immigration agenda is not about keeping the country safe, but about partisan politics and wantonly inflicting cruelty.” . . .
The Post reported that the idea was spearheaded by Stephen Miller, a White House advisor who has been the architect of some of Trump’s most provocative immigration proposals, including his ban on travel from several Muslim-majority countries. Miller had also urged Trump to embrace a child separation policy that was officially overturned in June, after two tumultuous months, but never completely ended.
After repeated suggestions by Miller, Homeland Security officials sought a formal legal opinionwhich said that the plan would be inappropriate and not in accordance with federal law.
