Justice Department reprimands 'sanctuary' jurisdictions on illegal immigration
[WashingtonExaminer] The Department of Justice on Friday reprimanded nine "sanctuary" jurisdictions for failing to adhere to federal requests to detain illegal immigrants.

It sent a letter warning the jurisdictions that they could lose certain federal grants if they fail to prove they are in compliance with federal law that requires them to communicate with federal officials about on immigration matters. The statute, 8 USC § 1373, prohibits local and state governments from enacting laws or policies that limit communication with Immigration and Customs Enforcement Customs and Border Protection about "information regarding the immigration or citizenship status."

The Justice Department said it "expects each of these jurisdictions to comply with this grant condition and to submit all documentation to the Office of Justice Programs by June 30, 2017, the deadline imposed by the grant agreement," the letters from Acting Assistant Attorney General Alan Hanson read.

The department sent letters to Sacramento, Chicago, Cook County, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Miami, Milwaukee and New York City.

These cities and others that have been dubbed "sanctuary" cities say they are not in violation of the federal statute because it does not require compliance with ICE requests such as detainers or requests for notification of release dates. The statute only prohibits the enactment of certain policies about sharing immigration status, which they say they do not do.

All cities could lose the Office of Justice Programs Byrne JAG grant if not in compliance. According to the government's website, the grant "provides federal criminal justice funding to state, local and tribal jurisdictions" for things such as personnel, training, equipment and supplies.

The letters make good on a promise by both President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who both have said cracking down on sanctuary policies are vital to fighting crime and bolstering public safety.

#1  Conspiracy to violate federal law. Bring in some indictments and you'll change some attitudes.

#2  That's a refreshing change from the last 8 years when the DOJ thought of themselves as SJWs.

Parole board rejects Cuomo's request to release Brinks robbery driver
In a startling rebuff, the New York State Parole Board denied the release of ex-Weather Underground radical Judith Clark from prison after Gov. Cuomo commuted her sentence.

Clark, 67 was convicted for her role as the get-a-way driver in the infamous 1981 Brinks robbery in which two Nyack police officers and a security guard were killed.

The three victims whose lives were snuffed out were Officers Edward O'Grady and Waverly Brown and security guard/driver Peter Paige.

Clark became eligible for parole after Cuomo, in an extraordinary decision, commuted her 75-year-to-life sentence last December ‐ giving her the right to make her case to the Parole Board.

Without his intervention, she would not have been eligible for parole until 2056 and would likely have died behind bars.

But in a unanimous decision, the three-member parole board member concluded that the severity of Clark's crime's outweighed her good behavior and deeds in prison and calls for her release.

"We do find that your release at this time is incompatible with the welfare of society . . . .You are still a symbol of violent and terroristic rime," parole board members Tina Stanford, Kevin Ludlow and Sally Thompson its decision.

They also noted that Clark had a criminal record of aggravated battery, aiding escape, mob action and resisting arrest prior to her New York crimes. And she was unrepentant at her sentencing, referring to herself as "at war with America."

#1  What is keeping Cuomo from commuting her sentence to "time served", or simply pardoning her & setting her free immediately?

#3  The governor is a dipwad--sure hope he doesn't run for president. Clark belongs in jail. Despite what the daughter says: My mother did not kill anyone and it’s hard for me to understand who is served by making her die in prison. Justice would be served. She aided and abetted the murder of 2 police officers and a security guard. Prior to that she had done some crimes outside of NY.

#4  There is no question that Andrew is aiming for president. As JohnQC said, he is a dipwad. Just like his father.

#5  If I had to debate him in a presidential election campaign, I'd start by always calling him Mr... Cumoh.

#6  About the only people who think Cuomo can get elected President are Cuomo and the ass kissers around him. He has almost as much baggage as Clinton and is equally uncharismatic.
