Sessions: So-Called Sanctuary City Polices in Chicago an Example of the Breakdown of the Rule of Law

‘Unfortunately, we have areas in the country that are not doing so well’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SESSIONS: "It’s proof that the entire nation, and gives us an example, all of us can do better throughout this country. It’s not impossible. Crime is not some force of nature like a tide coming in that can’t be confronted or dealt with effectively. We can make a difference in my opinion. I’ve seen it happen and I know it can happen. During our last administration, the department of justice, inspector general, sent ten letters to jurisdictions that they had reason to believe were not complying with federal immigration law. Last week we sent a letter to your mayor and today I’m here to announce that miami-dade is now in compliance, full compliance and eligible for all federal law enforcement grant dollars. Thank you, Mr. Mayor for your leadership. This is good news for law enforcement and for the citizens of miami-dade. It means more money for crime fighting, means we’re partners, partners together in keeping everyone safe. Unfortunately, we have areas in the country that are not doing so well. Chicago, just sued us a couple days ago, is not following this example."
