What Is the Constituency for Criminal Aliens?
By Andrew R. Arthur on August 10, 2017
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is taking concrete steps to address the violence that is racking American cities. For reasons that are not entirely clear, however, some of those cities are pushing back on DOJ's rules in order to protect their own alien criminals.
On July 25, 2017, DOJ posted its solicitation for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Programs (JAG). As its press release stated:
Recipients for FY 2017 will be notified of new conditions of their grants that will increase information sharing between federal, state, and local law enforcement, ensuring that federal immigration authorities have the information they need to enforce immigration laws and keep our communities safe.
