New Video: Patty Judge Clueless on Sanctuary Cities and Sarah's Law

Press Release

In an editorial board interview with the Sioux City Journal, Patty Judge was asked about her position on sanctuary city policies and admitted she was "really not clear…what a sanctuary city is." Asked about Sarah's Law, pending legislation named after Iowan Sarah Root who was killed by an illegal immigrant drunk driver, she again pleaded ignorance and claimed she was not familiar with the bill.

"Patty Judge's stunning lack of basic knowledge about critically important issues furthers proves how unqualified she is to represent Iowa in the United States Senate," said Grassley campaign manager Bob Haus. "Sanctuary city policies undermine the rule of law and provide safe haven to dangerous criminals, and Judge's total lack of understanding about this ongoing problem is deeply troubling for someone running for federal office. At a bare minimum, Iowa deserves elected officials that are at least aware of the problems we face as a state and as a nation, not someone who is so unprepared to serve that she has to be schooled about the job."

Sarah's Law was introduced by Iowa's United States Senators Grassley and Ernst in honor of Iowan Sarah Root who was killed by an illegal immigrant drunk driver earlier this year. The law would require federal immigration authorities to take custody of individuals in the country illegally who are charged with a crime that resulted in the death or serious injury of another person.
