Republican lawmakers’ plan for immigration includes a new division within Tennessee’s Department of Public Safety and punishment for sanctuary cities.The Centralized Immigration Enforcement Division would be led by someone appointed by the governor to work with the Trump administration, according to information released by Gov. Bill Lee and Republican legislative leaders Wednesday.
The package up for consideration at Monday’s special session includes the creation of a new Class E felony for local officials who agree to become sanctuary cities.
The punch line:
3. Local accountability: Creates a Class E felony offense for local officials who adopt or maintain sanctuary city policies in violation of state law and empowers the Tennessee Attorney General to initiate removal proceedings for officials convicted of violating anti-sanctuary city provisions.
Awaiting proof - like many "Red" States, there is a strong RINO contingent
