Sarah Sanders reiterated that the White House did “not support” sanctuary cities and instead supports “enforcing and following the law,” noting that the Department of Justice was just doing its job.
The reporter then asked how that decision will impact the White House’s “relationship” with the mayors of sanctuary cities and the administration will be working with them in the future. Sanders drew a hard line, saying passionately:
“We cannot allow people to pick and choose what laws to follow. If we have a country with no laws, then nothing matters. So we cannot allow a few individual people to decide they don’t want to follow the rules. You guys wouldn’t be allowed to do that in your own networks and outlets, and the federal government cannot allow people to act independently and completely ignore the law.”
