What the DOJ's Lawsuit Could Mean for 'Sanctuary' Laws
The attorney general has teed up a new test to the local-state dynamic on immigration that could make its way up to the U.S. Supreme court.
Jeff Sessions has launched his most potent attack yet in his salvo against so-called “sanctuary” policies—escalating the attorney general’s ongoing war against the Golden State.
“California, we have a problem,” Sessions said Wednesday in remarks delivered in Sacramento. “Contrary to what you might hear from the lawless open borders radicals, we are not asking California, Oakland, or anyone else to enforce immigration laws...We are simply asking California and other sanctuary jurisdictions to stop actively obstructing federal law enforcement.”
