When there was a crime that was committed, everybody worked together seamlessly. How is it that these cities and now the State of California have carved themselves out an exception to what has been a timeless, time- honored, established cooperation between all levels of law enforcement? So the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, which was my bill, is now sitting on Mitch McConnell's desk with the scores of other bills that the gentleman from Colorado has addressed, and it is one that says there will be no sanctuary cities any longer and that we will be cutting off funds going to these cities until they get the message. I think it is about time that the Justice Department moved on all of the jurisdiction that they actually have, but we need to help them here in Congress. And it is about time that this bill, along with Sarah's Law and Kate's Law, be moved off of Mitch McConnell's desk to the floor of the United States Senate.
