One example is that there are laws or common practices in sanctuary cities that don't consider immigration status relevant, so illegal alien criminals don't get identified and deported. These cities can be penalized for breaking federal law.

That doesn't answer my question. What do they do with an illegal alien caught committing a crime?

The illegal isn't "caught" because the authorities either de jure or de facto do not account for that information.

There are other things, but frankly this is not my area of expertise. I have seen many reports of illegals being in custody for crime and authorities having the legal obligation to deport them yet them not being deported.
