Congressman Gianforte Votes to Cut Off Taxpayer Funds to Sanctuary Cities, Protect Public Safety

Press Release

Congressman Greg Gianforte (MT-AL) today issued the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 3003, the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, and H.R. 3004, Kate's Law:

"Tragically, some state and local governments have chosen to ignore existing federal immigration laws. By refusing to enforce existing immigration laws, these sanctuary cities shelter violent, unlawful immigrants and jeopardize public safety. These sanctuary jurisdictions should enforce existing immigration laws and protect their citizens, not criminal elements. These bills will crack down on sanctuary cities, enhance penalties for criminal aliens who reenter the United States, and protect our communities from preventable crimes."
