Legal Battle Pits Bay Area Counties Against Trump Administration Over Sanctuary Policies | KQED
Briefly

The article covers issues of federalism through disputes over sanctuary policies and state insurance regulations. Federal authorities argue that sanctuary laws conflict with the Constitution's supremacy clause, while states defend their rights under the 10th Amendment. Additionally, the report outlines State Farm's recent request for an emergency rate hike in California due to financial losses from wildfires. The hike, pending a public hearing, could see homeowners facing a 22% increase, with State Farm committed to maintaining existing policies for at least a year.
The administration claims sanctuary policies breach the Constitution's supremacy clause, asserting federal law must prevail, while states argue for protections under the 10th Amendment.
Canceling existing policies could lead to significant customer backlash, but State Farm assures clients that all current policies will continue for at least one year post-rate hike.
