Kate Stienle two years ago, is directing a lot of publicity to the administration’s stance here.) Based on his views, President Trump issued an executive order shortly after taking office in which he directed relevant cabinet officers to deprive “sanctuary
jurisdictions” of federal funding and to “take [additional] appropriate enforcement action” against them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

from state custody of certain individuals suspected of immigration violations; (2) provide the feds physical access to non-citizens who are being housed in state and local detention facilities; and (3) certify compliance with 8 U.S.C. § 1373.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and foreign affairs. As a general matter, this power is quite broad and may very well suffice to support the federal government’s requirements in this realm, but states and cities have a rejoinder here—a series of cases the Supreme Court decided in the 1990s
that, collectively, create a rule known as the “anti-commandeering” doctrine. The basic idea is that, notwithstanding broad Article I powers of the federal government, the Tenth Amendment forbids the federal government coercing states and localities into providing
affirmative enforcement assistance to federal authorities. In this setting, states and cities argue that the anti-commandeering principle prevents the feds from requiring state and local authorities to affirmatively provide information about or access to individuals
who may have committed immigration law violations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/521/898/"><em><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Printz v. United States</span></em></a> (1997), in which the Supreme Court held that the federal government could not require state and local law enforcement
officers to conduct background checks on gun purchasers as part of the implementation of a federal law (the Brady gun control law). “The Federal Government,” the Court said, “may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems,
nor command the States’ officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program.” According to many cities, this is precisely what Attorney General Sessions is trying to do.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

then the federal government would try to overcome the cities’ Tenth Amendment objection by relying on a second, different basis for federal power—the power the feds enjoy to attach strings to federal funding under the so-called Spending Clause of Article I.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#444444">The spending authority, as it has been interpreted by the Court, is limited, however, in that it requires that any conditions the feds impose on the funding: (1) be clearly communicated
to the states/cities up front, so the recipients can knowingly decide whether to accept the deal; (2) be rationally related to the purposes of federal funding in the first place; and (3) not require the states to do something that violates any other part of
the Constitution. In addition, the Court has recently held, the funding at issue cannot be something on which states/cities have come to rely to such a great extent in the past so that they really have no choice but to accept any new strings that are attached.
If these four aspects are satisfied, then the funding conditions are valid requirements under Article I and do not violate the Tenth Amendment, whether or not the feds could mandate compliance with the conditions in the absence of the funding carrot.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

whether 1373’s mandate—in the absence of a conditional funding scheme—would violate the
<em><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Printz</span></em> anti-commandeering rule. Passing muster under Spending Clause doctrine and passing muster under the
<em><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Printz</span></em> doctrine are alternative ways for the federal government to prevail. If it wins on either, it wins. It needn’t win on both, the way the district court erroneously thought. Put another way, if
a federal condition on funding is permissible under Spending Clause doctrine, it cannot, by definition, be an impermissible commandeering, since (by hypothesis) states have an option of turning the deal down. Hence, there is no federal mandate that could be
considered to be commandeering.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

principle) involving federal-state relations fit together. If federal courts are going to be able to enforce the limits that federalism creates on the national government, while at the same time permit the feds to operate in their own proper sphere (and inspire
confidence in the public as they accomplish both objectives), they (and their law clerks) need to understand not just nuanced technical details of various specific doctrines, but the overall federalism big picture as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
