AG Sessions: Sanctuary Cities ‘Make Our Nation Less Safe by Putting Dangerous Criminals Back on the Streets’

EXCERPT:

SESSIONS: "Unfortunately, some states and cities have adopted policies designed to frustrate this enforcement of immigration law. This includes refusing to detain known felons on federal detainer request or otherwise failing to comply with these laws. For example, the Department of Homeland Security recently issued a report showing that in a single week, there were more than 200 instances of jurisdictions refusing to honor I.C.E. detainer requests with respect to individuals charged or convicted of a serious crime. The charges and convictions against these aliens include drug trafficking, hit-and-run, rape, sex offenses against a child and even murder. Such policies cannot continue. They make our nation less safe by putting dangerous criminals back on the streets.”
