Sanctuary Cities

The competency of a defendant in a 2015 homicide case that figured prominently in Donald Trump’s run for president is being reviewed by a federal judge, according to a report.

The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday announced that it had detained 128 illegal immigrants in a five-day operation in California last week, including those with convictions and charges for crimes including murder, child sex offenses and domestic violence.

The Trump administration is preparing to conduct a series of immigration enforcement operations targeting illegal immigrants in at least three sanctuary jurisdictions across the country, a source familiar with the operations told Fox News on Tuesday.

Authorities in Fairfax County, Va., for the last two years have denied 98%, or 915, of federal immigration enforcement's requests to detain non-citizens, an outside investigation concluded.

President Trump on Tuesday laid out what he wants “on the table” for the next round of economic stimulus -- calling for the elimination of “sanctuary” city policies, as well as cuts to payroll and capital gains taxes while arguing that the coronavirus must not be used to bail out “poorly run” states.

The White House is emphasizing that it is considering changes to “sanctuary” cities as part of the next round of stimulus, arguing that funding shouldn’t provide relief for what officials described as “bad Democratic governance.”

“Sanctuary” laws that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities are making it harder to arrest criminal illegal immigrants and are putting law enforcement officers in danger, a Department of Homeland Security watchdog found.

Federal immigration authorities on Monday arrested an illegal immigrant who had been released from NYPD custody despite being charged with child rape and sexual abuse.

A new court decision sets up a judicial split that only the Supreme Court can resolve.
