Some US cities are canceling cultural events over fears of ICE raids and deportations | CNN

For the past 45 years, Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood has celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a parade featuring Mexican bands, floats and dancers, and a festival at a local park.

But this year’s celebration, which attracts up to 300,000 people annually, has been canceled.

It's time for blue states to exercise their "state's rights" argument and prevent ICE from operating within their borders.
- Not one single judge in this country would sign off on this.
  States don't have the obligation to help enforce federal laws, but they also don't have the right to hinder the feds from enforcing their own laws. That's what the whole deal with "sanctuary cities" was all about- telling the feds that those cities weren't going to spend one dime of their budgets to help arrest immigrants, but they couldn't legally stop ICE from showing up and doing it themselves.
  
  but they also don’t have the right to hinder the feds from enforcing their own laws
  The Feds aren't following their own laws. They're doing whatever they please without warrants, breaking into vehicles and abducting people, which is not allowed by their own laws. They're breaking into homes without warrants and stealing peoples' property, money, and people, which is against their own laws. They ignore court orders if they don't want to follow them. The Gestapo is doing whatever it wants, ignoring the law.
  So, in turn, their Federal laws are meaningless to states and the citizens of those states.
  
  I don't disagree, but "the complete breakdown of society" is a whole other discussion.
  
  I agree, but the judicial system seems to be in a bit of a constitutional crisis. It's time to start doing what's "right" instead of doing what's "legal".
  
  Your lips to God's ears, my friend!
