State and Local Sanctuary Policy Reform
Where Things Stand
Federal leaders are trying to stop cities from having sanctuary laws that prevent local police from telling federal agents when they arrest someone who is in the country illegally. This matters because the government wants to deport people who commit crimes before they are released. Right now, the White House is threatening to take away police funding from cities that do not help with these deportations.
