| Champ regime promises crackdown on sanctuary cities |
| 2016-02-25 |
| [Wash Times] The Obama administration is preparing to crack down on sanctuary cities, Attorney General Loretta Lynch told Congress on Wednesday, saying she would try to stop federal grant money from going to jurisdictions that actively thwart agents seeking to deport illegal immigrants. Her announcement marks a major policy reversal for the administration, which for years has opposed legislation that would have forced such a crackdown. Ms. Lynch also said the federal Bureau of Prisons will no longer release illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities and instead will turn them over to immigration authorities to be deported. That is a response to last summer's killing of Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco. "This is a very significant change, and we're deeply grateful to you," Rep. John Abney Culberson, Texas Republican, told Ms. Lynch at a hearing of the House Appropriations Committee. |
