US States have no authority to block federal agents with valid warrants from deporting criminals. Time for lots of Sanctuary jurisdiction leaders to lawyer up.

Why would they need to lawyer up? These appear to be civil lawsuits, not criminal charges. These officials are being sued in their official capacity. Just like the Secretary of any given department is typically the name defendant in suits against the department. So in NFIB v. Sebelius (the Obamacare lawsuit), Kathleen Sebelius didn't have any personal exposure - she was being sued in the capacity of her office, and so the Department's lawyers handled the matter.

These suits will be handled by the state AG offices or municipal attorneys. They're already lawyered.
