The Justice Department on Wednesday threatened to subpoena 23 jurisdictions if they don’t turn over information about their "sanctuary" policies -- triggering a backlash from mayors across the country who pulled out of a White House meeting.
In letters to New York City, Chicago,
San Francisco and other jurisdictions, the Justice Department demanded
records relating to whether these localities are "unlawfully restricting
information sharing by law enforcement officers with federal
immigration authorities."
“I continue to urge all jurisdictions under review to
reconsider policies that place the safety of their communities and their
residents at risk,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.“Protecting criminal aliens from federal immigration authorities defies common sense and undermines the rule of law.”
