AG Sessions: DOJ to Refuse Federal Grants to Sanctuary Cities
-------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has intensified his attack
against sanctuary cities, saying Tuesday the Justice Department will
refuse to give cities hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants
unless they agree to cooperate with the federal government's crackdown
against undocumented immigrants, saying cities must allow federal
immigration authorities to operate inside jails and alert ICE agents
when someone who is undocumented is set to be released, if cities want
to receive the federal grants.
