Bill Would Ban Sanctuary Cities
(Harrisburg, PA) -- A bill that will soon be introduced in the state House would ban 'sanctuary' cities and counties for undocumented immigrants. It's sponsored by Representative Ryan Warner and Republican Ryan Mackenzie, who represents part of Lehigh County. The measure would prevent municipalities and counties from designating themselves as sanctuary cities in order to prevent federal prosecution to combat illegal immigration. The bill will also let any person who is injured to sue a municipality or county that released an individual with a detainer who commits illegal acts.
