Jonathan Turley: I think the federal government has a strong matter here, in particular with regard to one of the provisions in that law, which is a tip-off determination. And according to the law, if the federal government conducts an investigation into a suspected illegal alien, that person is then informed by New York and gets a heads-up. And the FBI said: ‘Well, what are you doing? I mean, we inquire because we may want to arrest this person.

The state on its side can claim that this violates what the anti-commander doctrine is called.

That is now based on the rights of states, but this is a very cloudy area because, as you can see from those sound bits, Illinois and New York are actively trying to frustrate federal enforcement and so the federal government is to the right flag on this Game and say, you know, you can’t do that. This is not commander. This is obstruction on your side.

Turley: “The interesting thing about this effort is that it is part of a general effort to get these issues before the court, to get a judicial assessment, to determine what the navigation documents are. And I like that, because this is an administration for A mission.
