Florida Mayor Orders End to Sanctuary City Policy
2017-01-27
[Breitbart] Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Giménez has instructed county jails to comply with all federal immigration detainer requests on Thursday, only one day after President Donald Trump issued an executive order to cut federal funding from sanctuary cities.

In 2016, the county ignored approximately 100 detainer requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which would have cost the county about $52,000 to implement, according to the Miami Herald.

According to a report from the non-partisan Center for Immigration Studies, Miami-Dade County refused to honor 771 detainer requests from January 1, 2014, to September 30, 2015. That’s at least 871 illegal aliens allowed to remain in the U.S., including 575 with criminal records.

The mayor decided it made no financial sense to risk losing $355 million in federal funding during 2017 to protect illegal aliens with criminal records.

#4  but were the funds as mentioned (provided by someone in Washington).... for the purpose of actually ESTABLISHING a sanctuary city environement ?

Suspect that at least a portion were provided as a reward; certainly no legal/administrative review of existing funds were made during the past eight years.

#3  Meanwhile, the jackass mayor of Somerville, MA doubles down and says he'll take one (count 'em, one) asylum seeker into his home.

Nothing personal, purely a business decision.

I know it sounds bizarre and please forgive me for asking Mr. Mayor, but were the funds as mentioned (provided by someone in Washington).... for the purpose of actually ESTABLISHING a sanctuary city environement ?
