“The report detailed illegal immigrants who had been charged with sex crimes and murder that local jurisdictions failed to turn over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ‘The American people are not happy with these results,’ Sessions said while speaking at the White House.”

That’s right. We aren’t. And there is plenty more that we aren’t happy with, either. Don’t retreat. Drain the swamp, already.

“Sessions: The DOJ Will Take All Lawful Steps To ‘Claw Back’ Funds From Sanctuary Cities,” by Alex Pfeiffer, Daily Caller, March 27, 2017:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions urged sanctuary jurisdictions to reverse their policies Monday as the Department of Justice will begin to “claw back” federal grants from places that ignore immigration detainers.

Sessions highlighted a recent report from the Department of Homeland Security that showed more than 200 instances of jurisdictions failing to honor detainers in the span of just one week. The DHS also identified sanctuary jurisdictions in the report, which included New York City and all of Rhode Island’s state prisons.

The report detailed illegal immigrants who had been charged with sex crimes and murder that local jurisdictions failed to turn over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “The American people are not happy with these results,” Sessions said while speaking at the White House.

He said that he is “urging” states and local jurisdictions to comply with immigration detainers as a “condition” of receiving federal law enforcement grants. The attorney general cited DOJ programs that are anticipate to award more than $4.1 billion in the upcoming fiscal year. Sessions added that “the DOJ will take all lawful steps to claw back any funds to a jurisdiction that willingly violates 8 U.S.C. 1373.”…

Claw back funds by all means — but also investigate them: What did they know? When did they know it? What crimes have they committed?

The Left has been on us like ticks on a dog … we need to use their own techniques on them and hold some of these [bleep] accountable for their criminal actions.

Exactly. Like Sheriff Clarke said at CPAC, throw one mayor in jail and all of this will stop.

Claw back to start with and stop providing any funds until the law is clearly understood and followed. There should be serious repercussions for those placing themselves above the law, shari’a should be defined as a crime. A few prominent democrats getting tossed in jail might get their attention.

It isn’t always the mayors that are the problem. Strangely enough, in all the concrete cases I have first hand experience with, in the SF Bay Area, it was always either the Progressives on the City Council or Board of Stupidvisors who were responsible, while the mayors were more conservative or centrist but forced to go along. The majority of votes in the City Council can override the mayor, for example.

If i were even suspected of violating a federal law, I would be arrested. If mayors of cities, members of city council, members of County Council, State Attorneys General, and State Governors openly admit they are going to disobey a federal law — why are we talking about witholding funds? Why are these people not being arrested and charged?

One sanctuary city mayor in the dock should just about solve the problem overnight.

They took and oath and broke it intentionally. Send them to prison where they belong staring with the female cop who is located in Texas.
