LopezSanchez is arrested soon after. As you can see. LopezSanchez was apprehended and deported five times by Customs and Border Protection. The system failed Kate Steinle when San Francisco. a sanctuary city that refuses to cooperate with ICE. decided to release a convicted felon rather than contact DHS to have him deported to Mexico. The bills we are voting on today would help prevent a similar tragedy from happening again. S. 2193 will provide a 5year mandatory minimum sentence for any illegal immigrant who reenters the United States after having been convicted of an aggravated felony or after having been twice convicted of illegally reentering the United States. S. 3100 will withhold certain Federal funds from cities with sanctuary policies in an effort to convince these cities to allow their law enforcement to cooperate with Federal immigration officials. I urge my colleagues to vote for cloture on these two bills to prevent a further tragedy like that suffered by the Steinle family.
