The Letter

Subject Oppose the Sanctuary City Elimination Act and Protect Local Policing Decisions

Over 1,000 cities, counties, and states limit how local resources are used for federal immigration enforcement. These policies exist because local law enforcement depends on community trust to solve crimes and protect victims.

Oppose the Sanctuary City Elimination Act and any legislation that punishes jurisdictions for making local policing decisions. Courts have upheld the anti-commandeering doctrine: the federal government cannot force local governments to enforce federal law.
