When Jeff Sessions sued California this week, he said California's decision to not provide ICE agents office space in jailhouses was unconstitutional. But he didn't sue to make it so that ICE agents can get their old jailhouse offices back.

When Jeff Sessions came after California's SB 54, the so-called sanctuary state bill, he did so in a very limited way. He only went after three provisions in the law. He left 18 of the other provisions, include the one on ICE detainers, untouched.

The state sanctuary law doesn't only bar ICE detainers from being honored in the state. It also prohibits local and state law enforcement officers from inquiring about an individual's status. Jeff Sessions didn't even touch that.

Thank you! It’s sometimes hard to tell what’s happening right away. We read the suit, his speech, the law... and it suddenly became a lot clearer.
