Sheriff David Clarke took the stage at CPAC today, pleding to stand behind Donald Trump as he cracks down on sanctuary cities. Clarke read from a piece he wrote in the Hill, noting:

I would start with 8 U.S.C. 1324, which in part contains criminal sanctions for “any person who knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to or entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, attempts to conceal, harbor or shields from detection, such alien in any place, including any building…or in subsection (iv) encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry or residence is or will be in violation of law, or (subsection (v)(I) engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts or (II) aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts shall be fined and imprisoned for up to 5-10 years.”

Clarke said “I’m telling you right now. You charge one mayor, one governor, one council president that adopts these laws, and this stuff is going to end RIGHT AWAY.”
