Despite threats of federal police funding cuts, Rauner to join Emanuel in defying federal immigration laws
WASHINGTON DC - California has been warned by the Trump Administration that federal funding for police would be cut off if they pass into law what they are calling the “Values” Act. The measure faces a vote in the California Assembly, then signature by Democrat Governor Jerry Brown. The Trump administration has threatened that, if California passes the act, the state will be cut off from a range of law enforcement grant money, a local news source said.
California Democrats say that any move to cut off federal policing funds is an attempt at blackmailing the state, and are promising to fight for every dollar.
Already, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has threatened to cut off federal police funds to the city of Chicago for defying federal immigration laws. But that warning hasn’t threatened Illinois’ governor, who is apparently locking arms with Democrat Mayor Rahm Emanuel in defiance.
Illinois Republican Governor Bruce Rauner’s office said Tuesday he plans to sign SB 31 into law, a bill similar to California’s, next Monday. At the same time, Rauner will sign into law another bill immigration advocates pushed through the Illinois General Assembly - one that would automatically register to vote anyone that has obtained a driver’s license in Illinois.
Good plan to jail the criminal governor, but we won’t be able to send Illinois the bill for his federal incarceration—they won’t be able to afford it!
