Too late. Immigration violators constantly run into local police all over the country, but its not like anyone puts them on a boat and tells them to start rowing. Usually.

Granted, its mayor versus federal law, and passively not enforcing the law rather than actively engaging in prohibited conduct, but you get the drift.
