The 1996 immigration law ("Illegal Immigration Reform Act of 1996") specifically requires local officials and governments to fully cooperate with the federal government on issues regarding illegal aliens.
A state or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.”
Title VIII, U.S. Code section 1373.
Failure or refusal of local governments and officials to cooperate fully is a violation of the law.
AND - If a local official violates the law and that violation results in a death the official can be prosecuted and receive up to a LIFE SENTENCE in prison.
As in the case of Kate Steinle who was murdered in cold blood by an illagal alien being harbored by the city government in San Francisco.
It is time for the US Attorney General to bring charges against local officials who are violating this law.
BONUS FACT! This Act was signed into law by Bill Clinton.

Why a new law when existing law will suffice. We need Federal Marshals to perp walk a few of these boneheads.
