Attorney General Jeff Sessions has announced a crackdown on sanctuary cities, with new measures to help enforce immigration laws and keep our communities safe. Cities that don't comply with new conditions, will lose large amounts of federal funding.Specifically, in order to be eligible for Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants (Byrne JAG grants), cities must:1) Prove compliance with a federal statute showing they do not block law enforcement officers from sharing immigration status information with ICE.2) Allow Department of Homeland Security officers, i.e. ICE agents, into any detention center.3) Give DHS/ICE a 48 hour notice before releasing anyone for whom ICE requested a detainer.AG Sessions said:These new grant conditions apply for fiscal year 2017 (October 1st, 2016, to September 30th, 2017.)
