When Trump takes office, should he have Janet Napolitano arrested for obstruction of justice?
Former Obama administration official Janet Napolitano, now head of California’s public university system, is digging in for a fight with President-elect Donald Trump over illegal immigration.
Napolitano, who served as secretary of Homeland Security during Obama’s first term, announced Wednesday that the vast higher education system she runs will not enforce federal law when it comes to illegal immigrants.
“While we still do not know what policies and practices the incoming federal administration may adopt, given the many public pronouncements made during the presidential campaign and its aftermath, we felt it necessary to reaffirm that [University of California] will act upon its deeply held conviction that all members of our community have the right to work, study, and live safely and without fear at all UC locations,” Napolitano said in a written directive.

Janet is just another sweet liberal who won't follow the law unless it fits her agenda. That's anarchy and that doesn't work. If the Feds decide to touch the college campus on the illegal immigrant issue, they will simply squeeze little Janet's world financially until she squeaks. Janet would have been better off to have kept her mouth shut and stay off the radar. The bottom line is its illegal not to follow federal law and little Janet has forgotten that.

The law seems pretty clear that federalism is still alive, and the national government can't compel the states to become officers of the national government. He can't even withhold funds unless the particular spending bill gives him specific authority to do so. But Mr. Obama has made that sort of thing into an art form, so he could over-reach his authority, drag and delay until absolutely forced by the courts, and the disruption in cash flow would be a problem.

She'll last right up until federal education funds are cut.
