is this not unconstitutional coercion? Forcing states to enforce federal law or lose unrelated funding?
-
Nope, this practice been upheld as constitutional. (I despise it, and it's sad to see "conservatives" use it.)
-
my question was rhetorical. It is constitutionally problematic. E.g. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2017/01/26/constitutional-problems-with-trumps-executive-order-on-sanctuary-cities/ …

Sure, and I agree, but it's been upheld thus far. I object to a lot of 10A (and admin law) jurisprudence.
-
not always upheld. Source of funding & regulation have to be closely tied (e.g. can't revoke fed. funding if schools aren't gun-free zones).
-
see also: can't force local LEO to do the work of federal LEO (e.g. with criminal b/g checks for gun purchases).

Pull the funding and call it a "shared responsibility payment"! I think that term has been used before but I'll recycle it.

I wonder if they think they can actually withhold Federal funds. We'll see when they try.
