The fact is, sanctuary city officials can be prosecuted under 8 U.S.C. § 1324

The cities cannot be compelled to enforce Federal Law for the Gov. It is the equivalent of a citizen refusing to report a crime to the police. The citizen is not required to report a crime by law and cannot be held liable for not doing so.
In the decision, United States v. Kim, 193 F.3d 567, 574 (2d Cir.1999) the Second Circuit cited the following test for determining what constitutes shielding, concealing, and harboring under 8 U.S.C. § 1324: “harboring, within the meaning of § 1324, encompasses conduct tending substantially to facilitate an alien's remaining in the United States illegally and to prevent government authorities from detecting his unlawful presence.”
The bottom line is, Public Officers in sanctuary cities who engage in the above forbidden activities can, and should be, prosecuted for criminal conduct ”…tending substantially to facilitate an alien's remaining in the United States illegally and to prevent government authorities from detecting his unlawful presence.”

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax slaves and forced to finance the personal economic needs of millions of foreigners who have invaded America’s borders.
