Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. The DOJ notified Local & State Law Enforcement Agencies across America last week that they will no longer be eligible for Federal Law Enforcement Grants unless they certify under oath that their local or state laws do not interfere in any way with requests for immigration information from federal authorities said Texas Rep. John Culberson who demanded action earlier this year.
Sanctuary cities are a hub for illegal aliens and criminal activity and weve seen the tragic results of these policies time and time again. This violence and suffering is intolerable and completely preventable said Culberson.
Finally acting on a promise made to House leaders the Justice Department on Thursday shut off funding to so-called sanctuary cities that ignore federal laws and protect illegal immigrants wanted for crimes.
Justice sent Culberson a letter detailing the new rules that cut off several Justice grants many to law enforcement if cities like San Francisco Washington D.C. and over 300 others block access to criminal illegals sought by federal authorities.
It has been more than a year since Kate Steinle was murdered at the hands of a criminal illegal alien who intentionally sought out shelter in San Francisco due to the citys sanctuary policies Culberson said.
It is a huge victory for Culberson chairman of the Commerce Justice & Science Subcommittee on Appropriations and others who
sought to shut down the once secret system in cities.
The practice of taking federal money and then refusing to give up criminal illegals became public after the 2015 San Francisco killing of Kate Steinle allegedly by an illegal immigrant who had been deported for crimes several times.
