PORTLAND (WGME) -- "The Department of Homeland Security is putting more than 500 '#SanctuaryJurisdictions' across the country on notice.

"The Trump administration says cities and counties on the list are obstructing immigration enforcement and standing in the way of President Donald Trump's #MassDeportations.

"Portland, #CumberlandCounty and #HancockCounty made the list in #Maine.

"Cumberland County believes it made the list because it won't illegally hold detainees for ICE and won't do ICE's job.

"The Trump administration is increasing pressure on communities it claims are protecting people who they say are 'violent criminal illegal aliens.' " [You know, like trade workers and business owners!]

@DoomsdaysCW For those playing along at home (which is now all of us), the legal theory here is based on an EO of very dubious legality that says States must help ICE. But the longstanding doctrine is that they don't, and refusing to help is not obstruction.
