Obama Administration: Sessions and Immigration Laws

obama administration: His statements in the White House briefing room brought to mind tough talk from President Donald Trump's campaign and came just three days after the administration's crushing health care defeat, according to CTV. But Sessions also acknowledged he was reiterating a similar policy adopted by the Obama administration last year. Sessions said the Justice Department would require cities seeking some of 4.1 billion available in grant money to verify that they are in compliance with a section of federal law that allows information sharing with immigration officials. I urge the nation's states and cities to carefully consider the harm they are doing to their citizens by refusing to enforce our immigration laws, Sessions said. But legal precedent suggests that would be difficult. The message is a furtherance of Trump's campaign promise to defund sanctuary cities by taking away their federal funding.
