CLEAR Act denies funds to sanctuary cities!

HR 3494, introduced by Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), would implement a system for identifying and removing violent criminal illegal immigrants and would deny certain federal funds to “sanctuary cities” that protect violent criminal aliens.

This legislation would:
• Require DHS to take an alien into custody within 48 hours

• Affirm that state and local law enforcement officials have existing authority to assist in enforcing immigration law during the course of their routine duties.

• Deny State Criminal Alien Assistance Program funding to “sanctuary cities” that refuse to assist with immigration enforcement.
