State Constitution

Constitutions at the state/local level are indeed inferior to the US Constitution, but it grants powers to the state that US Constitution could not do. To protect the civil rights of citizens. Recently President Trump has signed off an executive order to crack down on illegal immigrants, especially those who committed crimes and pose threat to the public's safety. Trump has stated that "Sanctuary jurisdictions across the United States willfully violate Federal law in an attempt to shield aliens from removal from the United States," because of this, he is actively against Sanctuary Cities. Threatening cities to be cut from federal funding. Many mayors with the support of its citizens, choose to uphold their rights. This is still in the process of legal battles, arguing the executive order is in violation the Tenth Amendment, protecting the rights of state sovereignty.
