Barr announces sweeping new sanctions, 'significant escalation' against left-wing sanctuary cities

Charging that so-called "sanctuary" cities that protect illegal immigrants are jeopardizing domestic security, Attorney General Bill Barr announced a slew of additional sanctions that he called a "significant escalation" against left-wing local and state governments that obstruct the "lawful functioning of our nation's immigration system."


Speaking at the National Sheriff’s Association 2020 Winter Legislative and Technology Conference in Washington, D.C.,
Barr said the Justice Department would immediately file multiple lawsuits against sanctuary jurisdictions for unconstitutionally interfering with federal immigration enforcement, and implement unprecedented national reviews of left-wing sanctuary governments and prosecutors.


"Let us state the reality upfront and as clearly as possible," Barr began. "When we are talking about sanctuary cities, we are talking about policies that are designed to allow criminal aliens to escape. These policies are not about people who came to our country illegally but have otherwise been peaceful and productive members of society.  Their express purpose is to shelter aliens whom local law enforcement has already arrested for other crimes.  This is neither lawful nor sensible."


The DOJ has now filed a federal complaint against the State of New Jersey seeking declaratory and injunctive relief "against its laws that forbid state and local law enforcement from sharing vital information about criminal aliens with DHS," Barr said.

About time. It would give me great pleasure to see the  mayors of these benighted cities frog-marched in shackles to some wonderful federal facility.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I've said several times, Jeffrey is a perfect example of The "Peter Principle."

He was previously competent up to "Senator," butone level above at AG,, he was not competent.

Not to mention the Obama/ Coup d' Etat kept him pinned down thru the Mueller-Russia-Russia stage.

Jeff Sessions was a 'ghost employee'. He was a nothing. A ghost.
Nobody knows if he even showed up to work?
He gave all of his job to Rosenstein and then took off to the Bahamas...
Never to be seen or heard from again...
