Impact analysis
Expect legal bills and staff time for the city and state, with the real price tag depending on how long the case drags on.
If the feds win, stricter immigration enforcement advocates and federal agencies gain leverage; if the city wins, local control and immigrant-protection advocates do.
Taxpayers could be on the hook for legal costs, and immigrants and mixed-status families may face more fear and uncertainty as the case unfolds.
