AG Sessions: DOJ to Refuse Federal Grants to Sanctuary Cities

HeadlineJul 26, 2017

Meanwhile, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has intensified his attack against sanctuary cities, saying Tuesday the Justice Department will refuse to give cities hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants unless they agree to cooperate with the federal government’s crackdown against undocumented immigrants, saying cities must allow federal immigration authorities to operate inside jails and alert ICE agents when someone who is undocumented is set to be released, if cities want to receive the federal grants.
