PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Testimony began Thursday in Philadelphia’s federal lawsuit against Attorney General Jeff Sessions over his decision to withhold money approved by Congress to help police departments fight crime.
As part of his crackdown on sanctuary cities, Sessions argues that the new guidelines aim at protecting cities.
Sessions has ordered cities to allow federal authorities to question inmates on their immigration status, and to give officials two days notice before releasing an undocumented prisoner.
