I want change so others will not have to endure the grief we have in our lives every day. The bill which we will consider this afternoon is supported by law enforcement organizations such as the National Sheriffs Association. the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association. and the National Association of Police Organizations. Here is what the International Union of Police Associations had to say about it: The International Union of Police Associations is proud Proudto add our name to the list of supporters of the bill addressing "Sanctuary Cities" titled Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act. As it now stands. our officers can be held liable for sharing relevant information and honoring immigration detainers. even when they are from federal immigration officials. This legislation remedies that. Additionally. the bill provides a financial disincentive for cities to become or remain "sanctuary cities" ... The organization also noted that this bill would help end the "revolving door" of criminals who "even though convicted of felony criminal activity and deported. unlawfully return to prey upon our citizens." The issue before us is not truly about immigration. it is more about keeping our communities safe. Those who defend socalled sanctuary cities callously disregard how their extreme policies hurt others. The Presidents own DHS Secretary has used terms such as "not acceptable" and "counterproductive to public safety" when referring to sanctuary city policies. Such extreme policies can inflict almost unimaginable pain on innocent victims and their families. As the father of three daughters.
