Kansas Secretary of State Chris Kobach disputes Tim Kaine's claim that sanctuary cities are a "phantom" issue, noting there are over 300 such jurisdictions in the U.S. Kobach categorizes these into "Don't Ask" cities (like Los Angeles), "Don't Tell" cities (like San Francisco), and sanctuary counties that refuse to cooperate with ICE detainers. He alleges that many counties adopt these policies due to legal threats from the ACLU rather than popular votes.
