Downe Lawrence article begins by mobilizing immigrants to get ready for some harsh
experiences. He explains to immigrants that it has come to a time that has to accept and declare
themselves as a sanctuary. According to Trump unauthorized immigrants are vicious criminals
and have dangerous desirables. This led to the intimidation and arrest of immigrants. Downes
argues that the word sanctuary refers to the immigrant loving communities that facilitate
immigrant criminals roams freely. However, Downes maintains that here is a city that can do
away with the law or stay away from the federal government. However, cities should define
sanctuaries as locations that are stands for a reason during an unjust, overarching and lawless
federal enforcement. San example of the Sanctuary City is the Santa Ana city that is made up of
335, 000 people whose city council passed the most far-reaching and ordinance sanctuary
ordinances. Hence Santa is a mixed income, mixed race and members of its city council are
Latino.
Feldman’s article, Beyond Liminal Legality, begins by showing the arrest of 600
immigrants in a serious of actions that are nationally coordinated. Fieldman explains that Trump
made executive orders that called for increased in cooperation between federal immigration
enforcement and police as well as penalties for sanctuary jurisdictions limiting the cooperation.
Trumps immigration justice movement is directing most its energies towards the fight
deportations particularly via development as well as defense of sanctuary cities. According to
Elliot Young, the sanctuary city concept faces major risks without consistency in grassroots
mobilizations. According to Harvey, while regional resistances, struggle for local place bound
and local autonomy organization could be an excellent based for political action. A major key
demand for sanctuary cities had full refugee status for all individuals forced to get away from
Central America. This led to the development of the TPS in 199.

In Blitzer Jonathan's article, The Hard-Liners Standing behind Trump against Sanctuary
Cities, he begins by giving a case of a woman who was short by an immigrant. However, the
federal government could not take the case since the City the woman is from is a sanctuary city.
Therefore, it was left to deal with the case. However, this case spurred great attention on the
cooperation of the local police and the federal government. Most anti-immigrants in the United
States are that undocumented immigrants pose a great danger to the safety of the American
community. However, organizations set aside to track death caused by undocumented aliens
have shown less effectiveness in their work and often accused of incompetence and corruption in
their roles.
In the three articles, Downes articles are well explained and elaborated hence easy to
understand compared to the other two articles. Downes explains what sanctuary cities are and
their major role in aiding and protecting employees. Additionally, he also shows why the
sanctuary cities are being challenged by Trump's government and the possibility of the success.
Additionally, he provides an example of a sanctuary city in which people live in harmony in
spite of the factor that they could be undocumented. Therefore, the most satisfactory argument
provided among the three articles is Downes article on A Sanctuary City seizes the moment and
the name. It is easy to understand and well developed by the author hence providing an easy flow
of ideas which one can easily understand.
