CNN 's Danielle Kohn applauds the courage of the prosecutor in New York who resigned rather than affect what's really just an unconscionable order to dismiss a case for transparent political purposes.

Kohn : It seems more likely that what they were interested in here was the federal government, which is looking to boost its mass deportation numbers.

CNN 's John Sutter : Federal government taking back $80 million from New York City to address migrant crisis.

He says the president is trying to kneecap the federal government in as many ways as he possibly can.

Sutter says this is the most high profile resistance we've seen to the Trump administration so far.

He asks: Do you think we'll see more of it?.

Trump administration says everyone who works in the executive branch is answerable directly to the president, including when it comes to prosecuting violations of the law or not.

Then you've got a vice president who's out there saying that the courts can't prevent them from implementing their policies.

What is that called?.
