    Republican launches fresh push to defund sanctuary cities after courts block Trump

    By Adam Shaw | Fox News
 
    EXCLUSIVE: Republicans are renewing their fight against “sanctuary cities,” with a new bill that aims to pull immigration funding from those jurisdictions that shield illegal immigrants from deportation – while protecting law enforcement officials who follow federal law.

    The bill, introduced by House freshman Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, seeks to cut off federal law enforcement grants to states that do not comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests. Gooden, speaking to Fox News, said the cuts are focused and designed to sting scofflaw states without harming key enforcement priorities.

    “We’re not targeting terrorism preparedness, drug enforcement or other DHS grants unrelated to immigration,” he said. “This is in no way going to disrupt law enforcement practices that are ongoing as respect to those grants.”

Kabuki theatre, can't get through the House (of course).

Removing "funding" is not going to end sanctuary cities.

Going into them with government agents and U.S. Troops and REMOVING from office those who promote and enforce such policies WILL "end" them.

But not enough are willing to even try that.
