The Justice Department unleashed a legal assault on sanctuary jurisdictions across the country this week, filing a new round of civil lawsuits asking judges to overturn the policies, and warning state and city officials they could soon face their own criminal charges for harboring illegal immigrants.

Lawsuits were filed against California, New Jersey and King County, in Washington, each of which has adopted novel ways of interfering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s ability to arrest, detain and deport illegal immigrants.

Can't be true ... Barr is a do-nothing ... FReepers assure me this is so. /s

Felony convictions followed by prison terms and disbarments should deter local prosecutors from continuing with their obstruction of Federal immigration law.

About time.

I’m confused. Under Obie immigration was a federal matter. Now it is a state issue???

There’s already a good law...Aiding and Abetting.

Good!

It would only take several felony convictions of politicians, prosecutors, and at least one governor, would entirely end the sanctuary city/state crap.

“Mr. Sessions also raised the possibility of using the criminal alien harboring laws against sanctuaries, though he never followed through.”

The hallmark of his entire miserable tenure as AG.

It’s simple...if anyone ignores federal law enforcement or ICE on the local level and a crime is committed, charge the mayor, city council, governor, etc. with being an accessory.

GOOD, please start with the mayor of Dayton Ohio!

During the Trump roundup this should be done.Check the precinct list of registered voters where these people resided. If they’re on that list, Federal crime, charge them and those that enabled them to vote knowing they were illegals. If enough noise is made it should discourage illegals still here from voting. Besides determining how they got a drivers license. Show how much it’s costing taxpayers of that state. Also point out increased premiums on drivers insurance rates. As well as demonstrate how that areas ,local ,state and federal taxes are increased by diverting educational, medical, food and housing allocations to meet illegal’s needs at citizen expense.
