Great, we can finally move on to the actual legal issue at hand in the complaint!
From what I've heard and read, the root of the plaintiffs' case (pc) is the Fed's can't require local law enforcement agencies to enforce Federal laws. I look at this being as true for immigration as it is for tax evasion, currency forgery, or any of the host of Federal only laws.

What part of the Executive order demands is that local law enforcement collect immigration status information from those that are arrested, which is not required by law. If the local law enforcement does not comply, then the Trump administration is threatening withholding Federal money.
This violates the 10th amendment and the supreme court case mentioned by me earlier is an example where this has been backed up by the Supreme Court.
This is a continued example of Trump's broad Executive orders that go to far and are rightfully being challenged. In one case already, the challenge has lead to a withdrawal of the original executive order and a rewrite of it.
Trump is also his own worst enemy with these EOs because he allows himself and his administration to comment publicly on his intent which comes back to haunt him when his lawyers argue a completely different intent in court.
The 49 page ruling is littered with past comments that are now being held against the administration to show malicious intent against cities that are not politically aligned with his goals.

Brent, I believe we are on the same page. Though, I tend to be a bit terse in my postings.

I just wanted to make sure as I wasn't 100% understanding exactly what you were saying
I was leaving aside the reading of tea leaves. Previous administrations have sought to get local law enforcement more fully involved in enforcing immigration laws. So, I was going for the more firmer Constitutional ground.
