Attorney General Jeff Sessions has starkly warned sanctuary cities that they risk losing funds if they don't follow federal law. Katie Pavlich and Mary Anne Marsh debated the issue. "We have tolerated sanctuary cities for a long time," Pavlich complained, "and I hope Attorney General Sessions is real about his threats. If they're going to withhold funding from sanctuary cities, they should not be bluffing. ICE is simply asking local law enforcement to hold illegal aliens with serious criminal records." But Marsh questioned whether the Justice Department can actually punish sanctuary cities. "Jeff Sessions talks about withholding funds, but he does not have the authority to do that. It is up to Congress to make the changes on those grants. What's most disgusting is that the immigration system is broken and no one is trying to fix it."
