The main reason that sanctuary cities or states choose not to voluntarily do that is because they don't want to discourage people in the communities that have a non-trivial number of people here illegally to stop using the police. A lot of your residents will be more loathe to call the police to report most non-critical crimes (theft and property damage, a drunken bar fight, etc.) if it makes it likely that it will resort in someone being deported, rather than getting a modest criminal penalty. Those who are victims of crimes will also stop reporting as much, because a police department that cooperates with ICE is not likely to be one that a victim can count on not to turn them over. - albaby

Don't care. If the illegals or their victims choose to avoid law enforcement for that reason, then that is on them. And in no way does that avoidance justify concealing criminals aliens in our country forever if I read you correctly.
