Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed he sent a letter to 10 cities functioning as so-called “sanctuary cities,” which may be in violation of federal law.

Sessions warned a failure to respond to those letters could result in those cities losing their federal funding.

“Last year, the Obama administration sent out notices that people had to comply with this cooperative language in the law that was passed several years ago,” Sessions explained. “And we sent out a letter today to 10 cities that the Inspector General’s office last year said were potentially in violation of the law involving deportation in sanctuary cities. We expect them to respond. If they don’t respond, they should not receive the grants because the grants were issued on condition of cooperation.”

It’s great that he references Obama policy. (Which, of course, was never enforced.)

The really fun part of this is that these dopes think he is doing this for show biz! I’d that they look down on Sessions because because has a Southern accent. Liberals hate the South and think they are superior to anyone from the South. ha ha ha ha just wait dummies, just wait.

Why doesn’t he send a letter to President Trump advising him that DACA is illegal and that no U.S. President should be protecting foreign nationals from the laws of the U.S.?

It is a direct violation of the oath of office to faithfully carry out the laws.

Mixed feelings about this.

It was Uncle Sam money that got them being sanctuary in the first place. Locals didn’t clamor for it, only for the money.

Uncle Sam money as handouts is a curse. That should stop and taxes be reduced.

I.e. Sessions still needs political support for it. Trump started the game. Trump doesn’t end it.

Absolutely love that he's just repeating what Obama said.

Sessions: Quiet like a mouse. Roars like a lion.

Sessions is a tough stud duck. Any smart-a** city attorney underestimating him will regret it.

I hope he has a few dozen scalps hanging from his lodge pole by the time these scofflaws learn to focus.
