Sessions DOJ Blocks Sanctuary Cities from Police Assistance Program
breitbart.com ^ | 4 Aug 2017 | by JOHN BINDER

Posted on 08/04/2017 11:51:40 AM PDT by johnk

Attorney General Jeff Sessions banned sanctuary cities from participating in a federal public safety program. In a statement through the Department of Justice (DOJ), Sessions said sanctuary cities would not be allowed to participate in the Public Safety Partnership program until they prove that they have properly dropped their status and made efforts to reduce violent crimes by illegal aliens.

“By protecting criminals from immigration enforcement, cities and states with so-called ‘sanctuary’ policies make all of us less safe,” Sessions said in the statement. “We saw that just last week, when an illegal alien who had been deported twenty times and was wanted by immigration authorities allegedly sexually assaulted an elderly woman in Portland, a city that refuses to cooperate with immigration enforcement.”

“By forcing police to go into more dangerous situations to re-arrest the same criminals, these policies endanger law enforcement officers more than anyone,” Sessions continued. “The Department of Justice is committed to supporting our law enforcement at every level, and that’s why we’re asking ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions to stop making their jobs harder.”

...

Under the Public Safety Partnership program, started by Sessions’ DOJ in June, the Justice Department works with local jurisdictions to reduce violent crime in American communities. So far, 12 jurisdictions are members of the program.

There are more than 165 sanctuary cities across the U.S. that protect criminal illegal aliens, despite widespread opposition to the practice.

There is absolutely no reason an organization should receive federal funds if they will not honor the federal requirements. Makes sense to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We should not have to wait until 65 year old women are raped and beaten to remove illegal aliens.

ALL illegal aliens ARE subject to removal.

The Wall is to make sure they don’t come back 20 times.

It just makes sense. If a city won’t work with the Justice Department to reduce crime, why should they get funds from the Justice Department to reduce crime by working with them? (head is spinning)

That’s just it. Once they are arrested for felony crimes, then they will go through the regular prosecution and if convicted sentenced to an prison in that state. However, if they are picked up on a misdemeanor or traffic infraction, ICE boys will be waiting for them.

That is the way it should work, but hasn’t in many years through at least the past two administrations.
ICE should be notified and they should detain and remove ANY illegal alien ANY law enforcement agency has contact with.
If they are an illegal alien we should not give them more opportunities to commit crimes just because they have not been charged with one yet.

Instead of punishing police, the feds should withhold funding of welfare.

LET THIS BE KNOWN, WE AT THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS RULE THIS LAWFUL ACT OF EXECUTIVE BRANCH TO BE COMPLETELY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. OUR SUPREME RULING IS BASED ON THE COMMON LAW OF THE LAND FOUND IN THE SACRED POEM “THE NEW COLOSSUS” WRITTEN IN 1883 BY EMMA LAZARUS LOCATED ON THE PEDESTAL OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.

...Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!...

SO LET IT BE WRITTEN... LONG LIVE THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT, THE SOLE ARBITRATORS OF JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Yep, that’s what I was talking about.

It’s a good thing that they can use European law to decide cases now - at least as far as they are concerned, any way.

100% credit goes to Rep John Culberson of Texas.

Great Job Sir !!

And the deliciousness of this, is that it was approved by none other than Loretta Lynch when she was head of the DOJ.

Sessions? You need to direct that statement to President Trump. Trump is the one that allows Mueller, Rosenstein and numerous swamp dwellers to continue their employment. Take it up with Trump.
