RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA – A Riverside County congressman today re-submitted a bill that seeks to cut off all federal funding to cities and counties with policies that undermine efforts to deport undocumented immigrants who have been jailed.
"Keeping American families safe is my top priority in Congress, which is why I believe deporting criminal illegal immigrants is so important," said Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona. "There are a lot of complicated issues involved in fixing our broken immigration system, but deporting illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes should not be controversial."
Calvert's H.R. 514, the "Help Ensure Legal Detainers (HELD) Act," mirrors a bill he introduced in October 2015.
