State Legislature

Not every State complies with every policy the Federal Government puts out as it conflicts with their values, especially of the communities the State represents. States reserved their powers for this. California is a democratic state and one of it values it solely protects is a residency that illegal immigrants can shelter to in order to avoid deportation. These are called sanctuary cities and recently been under attacked with the pressure of the Presidential executive order that denies funding for sanctuary cities. States are now taking action to fight this executive order by suing the US president for denying States rights.
