Mr. President. I was happy to support that study amendment. But this is the meat of the issue. There are socalled sanctuary cities all across the country which establish. as an official policy of their jurisdiction. an official action by vote of the council: We are not going to cooperate with Federal immigration enforcement officials. That is wrong. What is more. it is completely contrary to Federal immigration law. My amendment says: We are going to put some consequence to that defiance of Federal law. We are not going to give them COPS funds. We are going to send those funds. instead. to all of those other jurisdictions which abide by Federal law.
