• ⚖️ The argument is made that local sanctuary policies are being superseded by federal US supremacy laws.

Media Coverage and Political Strategy

• 📰 CNN's coverage of an ICE shooting is slammed for misrepresenting the event, with the headline focusing on protests rather than the agent's self-defense.

Immigration Enforcement and Recruitment
