It would be nice if the article wrote on what basis the lawsuit is being challenged on...
It can’t be just please don’t sue us...
City, county(s), state(s) generally are afforded immunity in such cases, and do file a response, in the form of a 12(b)6 Motion to Dismiss, on the grounds of Failure to state a claim, upon which relief can be granted.
If so, I'm not quite sure how the court(s) will respond to the 12(b)6 motion, in this case.
I think this time, because San-Fran-Freak-O is a sanctuary city, the court(s) just may waive any immunity.
I'm praying, the court(s)waive any immunity.
