BORDER/DEMS/IMMIGRATION/SANCTUARY CITY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Top House Democrats are launching an investigation into President Donald Trump’s contentious proposal to release undocumented immigrants detained at the border into so-called sanctuary cities. The leaders of the House Judiciary Committee, House Oversight Committee and House Homeland Security Committee wrote to senior White House officials on Monday [4-15-19] seeking emails and other documents related to the plan, which they called a ‘bizarre and unlawful attempt to score political points’…White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed Sunday [4-14-19] that the administration is considering a proposal to allow officials to transfer undocumented immigrants into cities that have limited their cooperation with federal immigration agencies. Those sanctuary cities — such as San Francisco, New York and Boston — tend to be concentrated in Democratic congressional districts.”
