Attorney General Bill Barr has promised a fight against sanctuary cities and the Attorney General did not parse words.
According to The Daily Caller:
Attorney General William Barr vowed Monday to escalate the fight against sanctuary jurisdictions and announced a round of lawsuits that target states and localities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
The top attorney for the Trump administration announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would be slapping several states and localities with lawsuits over their sanctuary policies while delivering remarks at the National Sheriffs’ Association in Washington, D.C., on Monday. DOJ later on announced complaints with California; New Jersey; and King County, Washington, over various policies that hinder the work of federal immigration authorities.
The moves were the latest in the Trump administration’s escalating crackdown against sanctuary jurisdictions across the country.
“This evening, I am announcing further actions the Department of Justice will take to protect the American people and allow for the proper and lawful functioning of our nation’s federal immigration system,” Barr said Monday while giving his address.
Barr also stated that the DOJ was filing lawsuits against the state of New Jersey and Kings County which includes Seattle.
