Justice Department promises crackdown on sanctuary cities
The Washington Times ^ | February 24, 2016 | Stephen Dinan

The federal Bureau of Prisons will now try to deport illegal immigrants rather than turn them over to sanctuary cities, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday in a bid to solve the situation that may have led to the death of Kathryn Steinle last summer.

Ms. Lynch also said she'll begin an audit of sanctuary cities to see if they're violating federal law, and those that are found to be actively stymying immigration agents' work could lose grant funding.

I have doubts about this because of the timing, 0bama trying to nominate a SCOTUS, Donald Trump's proposed policy on illegals, etc. but it's way past time to crack down on them.

Further proof that Lynch is going to be Obama’s SCOTUS nominee.

Didn’t she just say she was pushing to allow illegals to vote? Or something of that nature?

I hope she is. Then we can stop this right in its tracks.

Hopefully Trump will throw a few Mayors and City Council folks in jail—this is a classic RICO case.

That's exactly what I was thinking as I read this.

Lynch's new found approach is NOTHING MORE THAN POLITICAL POSTURING FOR A SCOTUS CONFIRMATION, attempting to appear more moderate.

Does Team Zero REALLY expect us to believe that they're going to clamp down on illegal immigration? Ha. Ha. Ha. Make me laugh.

During her first term as Michigan’s Governor, Jennifer Granholm (D) announced her special program for declaring what are “Cool Cities” throughout the state and I’ve always suspected that “Cool Cities” was just code for sanctuary cities. I don’t know if that was the ulterior motive but it makes sense to me, having paid close attention to her rhetoric and actions during both of her terms.

The EAC ruled states could require proof of citizenship for voter registration, a suit was filed against the EAC and the DOJ is required by law to represent them. They refused and in fact joined the plaintiffs, the judge had a fit and rightfully so.
