AG Sessions to Chicago: Suck it up, Buttercup. No money for you

Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel is suing DOJ for defunding sanctuary cities. Jeff Sessions' tough response: "comply with the law or forego taxpayer dollars ⋆ Powdered Wig Society

Attorney General Jeff Sessions today issued the following statement on the city of Chicago’s lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for withholding federal funds due to sanctuary city status:

“No amount of federal taxpayer dollars will help a city that refuses to help its own residents.

“This administration is committed to the rule of law and to enforcing the laws established by Congress. To a degree perhaps unsurpassed by any other jurisdiction, the political leadership of Chicago has chosen deliberately and intentionally to adopt a policy that obstructs this country’s lawful immigration system. They have demonstrated an open hostility to enforcing laws designed to protect law enforcement — Federal, state, and local — and reduce crime, and instead have adopted an official policy of protecting criminal aliens who prey on their own residents. This is astounding given the unprecedented violent crime surge in Chicago, with the number of murders in 2016 surpassing both New York and Los Angeles combined. The city’s leaders cannot follow some laws and ignore others and reasonably expect this horrific situation to improve.

“The Mayor complains that the federal government’s focus on enforcing the law would require a ‘reordering of law enforcement practice in Chicago.’ But that’s just what Chicago needs: a recommitment to the rule of law and to policies that rollback the culture of lawlessness that has beset the city.

“This administration will not simply give away grant dollars to city governments that proudly violate the rule of law and protect criminal aliens at the expense of public safety. So it’s this simple: Comply with the law or forego taxpayer dollars.”

From the behavior of city leaders in Chicago, it looks like the city is looking to hispanics to put down black violence.

Oh goody! They'll finally get that race war they've been dreaming of. But this old white guy's staying at home to watch it on TV.

Chicago has filed suit and they will win because the criteria given for refusal is arbitrary, politically motivated and unsupported by statute. They could have simply refused to grant money without explanation and gotten away with it but refusing this money AND using it as a partisan political statement will land them in court and they will lose.

Plenty of other ways to put the screws to them. Just watch.

They will lose based on what precedent? How do you think the federal government blackmailed all 50 states into establishing a 21-year-old drinking age? They did it by telling them they would withhold 10% of their highway funding if they didn't pass it. The Supreme Court said that was legal, so I don't see where you get your opinion from Chicago is going to win.

Better do a link quick, pard... otherwise it's plagiarism... and we can't forget the rules. You don't need to get banned.

Raising the drinking age was uniformly applied across all states and based on a uniform policy enacted by congress. Unless congress acts with a clear set of guidelines as to what constitutes a sanctuary city and apply it across the nation Chicago has every right to challenge arbitrary policies enacted by a bureaucrat with no clear aim other than to force actions not required by current law.

Jeff Sessions does not have the authority to placer conditions on federal grants. He talks about the rule of law but he apparently does not believe in the rule of law. To do it, he needs to get a authorization from Congress. Also many police organizations who supported Trump also oppose this.

Wrong.

When a federal agency decides to grant funds, they decide the rules for granting those funds, within FARS rules..

Standard corporate state tactic; defund the govt of the people and then tell the people govt doesn't work, so submit to concentrated corporate wealth and power where you have no voice at all. Defund the police and then be all aghast at the lack of policing.

Untrue. Federal grants are renewed annually, so they can't take away a previously approved grant. But future grants are now dependent on compliance.

And if Sessions really wants to play hardball, he could always say "I am filing charges against Mayor Emmanuel for violations of Title 8 USC." for harboring illegals, and deduct the fines from their funding.

Don't believe Sessions would do something like that? Just watch.
