DHS Asked DOJ to Consider Criminal Charges Against Sanctuary City Leaders

Leah Barkoukis / Townhall Tipsheet

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told lawmakers Tuesday that she asked federal prosecutors to explore the possibility of bringing criminal charges against leaders of sanctuary cities.

"The Department of Justice is reviewing what avenues may be available," she told the Senate Judiciary Committee, adding that the policies are "putting my [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] officers at risk."

Neilsen’s comment comes after Thomas Homan, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said earlier this month that he too has been talking to the DOJ about whether these leaders can be criminally charged.

In his interview with Fox News’s Neil Cavuto after California’s sanctuary state law went into effect, Homan said the leaders are violating 8 U.S. Code § 1324, which states that any person, "knowing... the fact that an alien has come to... the United States in violation of the law, conceals, harbors or shields from detection... such [an] alien in any place" could face several years in prison and/or fines.

Time Magazine Gives Space to Hamas-CAIR Chief to Distort Martin Luther King’s Legacy

By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT

 

The unmitigated gall of this guy is just astonishing. Martin Luther King’s position on Israel and the Jewish people was quite clear, and it was the direct polar opposite of that of Nihad Awads and the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations. The complete opposite.

Martin Luther King would be spinning in his grave if he knew how he was being exploited by the bigots, Jew-haters, racists, demagogues he fought so hard against. If only those who so egregiously use him would heed his words and wisdom. Here are some key and authenticated MLK quotes:

“I cannot stand idly by, even though I happen to live in the United States and even though I happen to be an American Negro and not be concerned about what happens to the Jews in Soviet Russia. For what happens to them happens to me and you, and we must be concerned.”

“Israel’s right to exist as a state in security is uncontestable.”

“Peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.”

Just a Thought...
N.J. Governor Phil Murphy...the ILLEGALS New Best Friend
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor

IMPORTANT...Phil Murphy, the new Democratic governor of New Jersey, is dead set on making N.J. a sanctuary state and he is starting that ball rolling by giving 650,000+ ILLEGALS welfare benefits..benefits to be paid for by an 11% across the board tax increase. Translation: screw the taxpayers and American citizens with folks that will NEVER bite the hand of those supplying them 'free stuff.' And dare we forget...pad the Democratic voter rolls with ILLEGALS to help assure the Dems regain power in 2018 and 2020. N.J. voters when they realize they got screwed should start an immediate recall on this, I believe, most traitorous of governors.
