Trump talks about forcing “sanctuary cities” in California and elsewhere to take immigrants — a move some believe would be illegal. Cher responds. Here's some background from the pages of The Times:

But the state attorney general’s office is required to publish guidelines and training recommendations to limit immigration agents’ access to personal information.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters during the House Democratic Caucus retreat in Leesburg, Va., that she knew nothing about the plan.
