Lab Report: Congress Takes Aim at Sanctuary Cities

Eye on Congress: The U.S. House is scheduled to vote on two bills today that move toward tougher immigration enforcement—one that would give the federal government more power to withhold grants from sanctuary cities and allow victims of crimes by illegal immigrants to sue those cities. Ahead of the vote, President Trump on Wednesday convened with families who were victimized by immigrants. The Washington Post reports:

Hate trends: More than half of U.S. hate crimes go unreported, according to a new federal report that shows Hispanics victimized at the highest rate, followed by blacks. The report comes out as the Justice Department today convenes with local law enforcement officials and experts to discuss the nationwide problem. (AP)
