My understanding is that 'Blue' states where I guess most sanctuary cities are are nett payers to the federal government. I would suggest that if the federal government stops demitting required payments to the states, then they should retain payments to the federal government.

This will be the go-to explanation for all brutalization of U.S. citizens. They will slander and demean all opposition to the chaotic violence perpetrated by the iceholes and the credulous cultists will buy into it, and cynical edgelords will applaud it. Filming iceholes is a constitutionally protected activity, though as we've seen with this corrupt administration, the constitution, court orders, and the rule of law are meaningless.
 
Recent footage of ICEstapo roughing up pedestrians reminds me of 1930s
German newsreels showing brownshirts trying to provoke trouble at a parade.
The brownshirts were better at it. But maybe the IceChuds will learn. Heck, there's
no such thing as unskilled work.

Problem is, a lot of the money that goes from states to feds, goes automatically through payroll tax deductions.

The shootings and violence get the headlines but stuff like this is happening all the time every day

Another day, another video of ICE agents illegally harassing a U.S. citizen for “proof of citizenship” while she walks through her own neighborhood in Minneapolis.

In the video, a woman is surrounded by masked ICE agents.

One agent tells her, “Do you have ID? If not, we’ll have to put you in our car and ID you.”

That statement alone is unlawful.

She calmly states, “I’m a U.S. citizen.”
The agent immediately demands ID anyway.

She correctly explains that she is not required to carry identification while walking in her neighborhood. There is no law requiring citizens to carry papers, and ICE does not have the authority to detain someone without reasonable, articulable suspicion of a specific crime.

At that point, the agents escalate.

They begin asking where she was born.
She responds, “Minneapolis is my home.”

The agents claim they are conducting an “immigration check” and repeat the question. That is not a legal basis for detention. Citizenship is not determined by place of birth alone, and ICE has no authority to conduct random street interrogations of people not suspected of immigration violations.

When she again refuses to show ID, an agent threatens, “We’re going to put you in our car then.”

That is an explicit threat of unlawful detention.

She says, “I should be able to walk around at 3 without being afraid for my life.”

Instead of disengaging, the agent again demands ID and again demands to know where she was born. She repeats, clearly and correctly, “It doesn’t matter where I was born. I’m a U.S. citizen.”

The agent then attempts intimidation, warning her that lying about being a U.S. citizen could result in federal charges, despite having no evidence she was lying and no lawful basis to continue the stop.

Only after repeated refusals to comply with an illegal detention do the agents finally walk away.

This wasn’t law enforcement. It was a fishing expedition, relying on fear, intimidation, and the false belief that Americans must carry papers to exist in public.

If masked federal agents can threaten to kidnap a U.S. citizen off the street for refusing to answer questions they have no legal right to ask, then the question isn’t whether rights are being violated.

The question is how long Americans are expected to tolerate it
