If not, then please explain how you can possibly object to the withholding of federal funds from so-called "sanctuary" states & cities that oppose enforcement of our federal immigration laws?

Yes because that’s how the law is written.
Overview of Title VI
If a recipient of federal assistance is found to have discriminated and voluntary compliance cannot be achieved, the federal agency providing the assistance should either initiate fund termination proceedings or refer the matter to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal action. Aggrieved individuals may file administrative complaints with the federal agency that provides funds to a recipient, or the individuals may file suit for appropriate relief in federal court. Title VI itself prohibits intentional discrimination. However, most funding agencies have regulations implementing Title VI that prohibit recipient practices that have the effect of discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

If congress creates or updates a law requiring state and local governments to assist when enforcing immigration law with the consequences of not doing so or obstructing said enforcement being the loss of federal funding that’s a different story.
As far as I am aware they have not done that yet. And despite what many people think Trump the clown is not the king of America. He still has to follow the law.
