Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions is putting liberal mayors on notice, as the Department of Justice threatens to subpoena ” “unlawfully restricting information sharing by law enforcement officers with federal immigration authorities,” Fox reports. Sessions said in a statement, “Protecting criminal aliens from federal immigration authorities defies common sense and undermines the rule of law.”
The following jurisdictions that received letters according to the Justice Department: Chicago; Cook County, Ill; New York City; the state of California; Albany, N.Y.; Berkeley, Calif.; Bernalillo County, N.M.; Burlington, Vt.; the city and county of Denver, Colo.; Fremont, Calif.; Jackson, Miss.; King County, Wash.; Lawrence, Mass.; City of Los Angeles, Calif.; Louisville, Ky.; Monterey County, Calif.; Sacramento County, Calif.; the city and county of San Francisco; Sonoma County, Calif.; Watsonville, Calif.; West Palm Beach, Fla.; the state of Illinois and the state of Oregon.
New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio fumed this morning on Twitter, “I will NOT be attending today’s meeting at the White House after @realDonaldTrump’s Department of Justice decided to renew their racist assault on our immigrant communities. It doesn’t make us safer and it violates America’s core values.” So does communism.
Spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said to Fox News that if the sanctuary cities continue in this lawlessness, the Department of Justice will demand repayment of federal grants. “So what we’re saying is if we find out you’re not complying with federal law, we’re taking the tax dollars back,” she said. Mayors are talking tough, but we’ll see how they talk when their grant money is on the line.
