NADLER & LOFGREN STATEMENT ON AG SESSIONS’ LAWSUIT AGAINST CALIFORNIA’S SANCTUARY LAWS
Washington, DC,
March 7, 2018
House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) today released a joint statement with Immigration and Border Security Subcommittee Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), on Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ lawsuit against California’s sanctuary laws: “Attorney General Sessions is again attacking local communities who disagree with his anti-immigrant agenda. We strongly condemn the DOJ’s decision to sue the State of California and we oppose their attempt to intervene in the affairs of local governance. The Department of Justice’s decision to sue the state of California demonstrates just how far President Trump is willing to go to implement his extremist, mass deportation campaign promise. This is not about public safety — no reputable study has found that sanctuary cities have more crime. This is about fear mongering and hate.”
