Congress to withhold grants from Sanctuaries

[hortysir]

Sanctuary Cities – Passage - Vote Passed (241-179, 13 Not Voting)

The House passed a bill that would withhold certain federal law enforcement grants to state and local governments that bar their officials from taking certain immigration-related actions, such as gathering or maintaining information on the immigration or citizenship status of individuals or sharing such information with federal immigration authorities. The withheld federal law enforcement grants include the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (which allows states to enter into a contractual arrangement with the federal government for compensation for the incarceration of undocumented criminal immigrants), the Community-Oriented Policing Services program (COPS, which helps support the hiring of police officers at the state and local level) and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (Byrne-JAG, which supports a range of programs, including prosecutions and courts).

And by the looks of this vote a 2/3 override is unlikely.
Have to just sit on it until 01/2016

He will, and the Democrats will support it, once again showing their disloyalty to their fellow Americans.

When it does, Obama will most likely sign it in a week.​

That is likely. Don't know how that will go over though. Blatantly ignoring law is asinine.

Without any media attention it'll just fade away

It will get a fair amount of attention if it passes the senate.

Media attention will remain as long as Trump is in the race!
You can stake a life on that!
