The Huffington Post and a lot of sanctuary apologists have been struggling to defend policies that shield criminal aliens since the July 1 murder of Kathryn Steinle by an illegal alien felon that San Francisco chose to put back on the streets, rather than honor an ICE detainer request.<\/p>\n
Momentum is building in Congress to strip sanctuary jurisdictions of certain federal funding if they continue to impede immigration enforcement. The idea of withholding federal dollars from sanctuary jurisdictions apparently does not sit well with Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) who has offered an amendment to H.R. 3009, Rep. Duncan Hunter\u2019s (R-Calif.) bill designed to force local governments to comply with ICE detainer requests.<\/p>\n
