ACLU Comment on US Senate Vote on 'Sanctuary' Policies Bill
WASHINGTON – A U.S. Senate bill seeking to defund over 350 localities that have adopted community trust policies and refused to execute unconstitutional immigration detainers has failed to advance to a full Senate vote. The "Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act" (S.2146) was blocked by a 54-45 cloture vote. The American Civil Liberties Union is a leader in a broad coalition of law enforcement, municipal, community development, housing, victim services, religious, and immigrants' rights organizations that opposed the bill.
