SOMA on fed's "Sanctuary" list. Star-Ledger 5/31/25

It is a list of counties and municipalities that are deemed not to comply with immigration laws. Some municipalities have been sued but the suits have not been adjudicated.

So, how much will this cost us to defend such a suit? Should we extend full cooperation to I.C.E./ Can we win if we don't?  

Not exactly.  Maplewood and South Orange both comply with the law as defined in the Constitution of the United States.

There is a thread in Politics about the same topic.
Here is a screenshot from Maplewood's resolution.

See highlighted phrase "comply with the law". The lie that they're defying the law ("give the town star chamber a primer on the Supremacy Clause") can be disregarded.


we’ll let the Supreme Court decide what does and doesn’t violate the Supremacy Clause as it relates to this matter, not some half assed recital in a poorly written star chamber resolution.

Please let us know which laws or regulations Maplewood and South Orange have violated which would then result in a violation of the Supremacy Clause.

He doesn't seem to get that it's not a "supremacy clause" issue.

When the actions of a state or town are in compliance with applicable Federal law, then the "supremacy clause" is irrelevant.
