  It was prohibited to create such policies since 2019[1]. They've increased punishment for offenders. You might want to read on what exactly changed[2] Besides Tennessee law prohibits creation of "sanctuary city" way before Trump came into power.

    It was prohibited to enact those policies. But that's performative, it has always been illegal to aid criminals. It's also technically illegal to sell weed in Colorado. This makes it illegal to vote. That's first amendment protected behavior and has long been precedent. And once they set the precedent they can make voting a particular way illegal, they'll apply that same law to more and more laws - and then they'll apply it to citizens (based on the SCOTUS ruling that legislators have the same first amendement right as citizens). Stop being a fascist apologist and pretending this behavior is normal. It is not God damn normal to outlaw voting a specific way. It's their job to represent their electorate and that's literally how we're supposed to change the system in democratic system. This is clearly a move to make it illegal to progressive.

      I do have to agree punishing elected representative for voting is a slippery slope. But in this case, it didn't really change anything.

        The fact it is accepted by every single branch of government and is being done flagrantly in the open and their supporters cheer changes everything.
