Yeah it's two seperate bits there civil rights and jurisdiction.
And I guess I'm not sure. I object on the civil rights grounds and I see the fed's side that if every state passes their own immigration laws things are going to be very .. well difficult at the least. I think it depends on what happens after the local police make a call to ICE - are they allowed to hold someone for federal reasons (not even charges)? Are they going to be makine 300 calls to ICE a day? I don't know enough about law enforcement to know.
