Like most progressive movements those who supported this didn’t want to so much as see an illegal let alone help them, they just wanted to virtue signal and feel all high & mighty about themselves.
Unfortunately for them, their arrogance and ego has consequences.

What are the duties of a sanctuary city?
Also, would you please define what you think a sanctuary city actually is?
better yet, why don't you share what you feel a sanctuary city is. So we can all compare apples to apples.

I already posted it, but again just for you...
A sanctuary city/county/state refuses to do the feds job for them, use their facilities and employees, at their expense. If an illegal immigrant is in state prison and is ready to leave because they've served their time, and the feds fail to come and get him, the state refuses to pay to continue to feed, house and take care of their medical needs without compensation.
sanctuary city
noun
(in North America) a city whose municipal laws tend to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation or prosecution, despite federal immigration law.
"mayors in those cities reaffirmed their status as sanctuary cities"

Sweetie, that's not a definition of a sanctuary city, That's a rant from Gov Abbott.
The Sanctuary City resistance movement came about during the Obama Administration, when he put out an EO requiring state and local agencies to pick up the slack that the feds had left behind, giving state and local facilities more finanancial responsibilities with no financial relief. Trump doubled down on the ideology.
But while Boulder became the latest major city to concretize its sanctuary policy in response to Trump, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office first adopted the stance in 2014. That year, a federal court ruled that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement requests for local police to hold unauthorized immigrants on the agency’s behalf weren’t mandatory, despite the Barack Obama administration’s insistence to the contrary. Thus, the sanctuary city movement gained steam largely as a rebellion against what many liberal jurisdictions viewed as intrusive immigration enforcement efforts under Obama.

The phrase sanctuary city is not a legal term, but one developed over time and more recently reflecting a response to ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) policies and actions. In general, a sanctuary city is a community with a policy, written or unwritten, that discourages local law enforcement from reporting the immigration status of individuals unless it involves investigation of a serious crime. These sanctuary communities go beyond cities, though. One can find entire counties and states declaring sanctuary status.
These communities typically do not honor requests by ICE to detain undocumented immigrants whom local agents apprehend for misdemeanor crimes or investigations. Many in sanctuary cities also refuse to deputize their local officers as federal agents, a necessary technicality if those local officers carry out the duties of ICE agents. There is no specific federal law against sanctuary city policies.

If the Feds want state, county and city officials and facilities to accommodate their needs and duties, then they need legislation to implement federal duties to non-federal state and county facilities and employees and pay for it. If an inmate, who is an illegal, for example, serves their time for the crime they were convicted of, and it's time for them to be released, it isn't the duty of the state or county to keep that prisoner in jail, fed, clothed and medicated, until the feds get their act together to come and get the guy.
Texas get $1.6 billion from the feds to handle immigration programs in the states. New York City only get $140 million. Mayor Adams is asking for $3 billion now, in light of everything, including Abbott's plan to bus immigrants to New York City.
The key to sanctuary cities participating in federal immigration duties is MONEY.

What law would that be? Please be specific to the law that required state and local municipalities to use their resources to fulfill federal duties. Please provide an example of how sanctuary localities are breaking federal law.
The Biden administration was shipping migrants there before Abbot even started!

They have to go somewhere. After asylees are processed and awaiting judication, the federal government may provide them with housing, etc. The Feds have contracts, like how Texas gets $1.6 Billion for immigrant services. New York was getting $140 Million for immigrant services.
Where some (sanctuary) states are forcing the feds to do their job, by not letting them steal the state's assets, Texas is taking over and doing the feds job and shipping immigrants out of Texas, sometimes deporting them, before the feds even know they're there!

HAHA Nice!
You're the one who first used the word "municipalities" though. I used the word "facilities".
Look, I've been here explaining this Sanctuary City topic since Obama was in office. I'm not learning this as I go. But I'm glad that you're learning the building blocks of how state and local officials reacted to Obama's authoritarian take on immigration, by asserting Sanctuary status.

There’s no official legal definition for sanctuary city and what it means varies significantly from place to place. Generally speaking, local law enforcement in sanctuary cities or counties don’t ask or report the immigration status of people they come into contact with. A sanctuary jurisdiction typically refuses requests from federal immigration authorities to detain undocumented immigrants apprehended for low-level offenses. A sanctuary city would also refuse to have its local law enforcement "deputized" as federal immigration agents
