This is existing law we are
asking them to enforce, we are requiring them to enforce. According to a March 2017 Washington Times article, nearly 500
jurisdictions have sanctuary policies that block--that block--that
limit ICE from apprehending criminal aliens. A January 2017 article from the Washington Examiner reported that,
from January 2014 to September 2015, sanctuary jurisdictions rejected
17,000 ICE detainers. Those are 17,000 criminals that are out on the
street that we know about that we let go. Adding insult to injury, these sanctuary jurisdictions seek Federal
funds to help them defy Federal law enforcement efforts to remove the
dangerous criminal aliens from the streets.
