Tim Kaine Shreds DHS' 'Bogus Sanctuary Cities List' That 'Provoked Laughter In Virginia'

Published | Video Starts at 02:01

I like the professionalism that I see with your sheriff's department, and I think we could use it at the federal level. Here's an issue about sanctuary cities and the Trump administration. DHS, Mr. Chair, you might like this one. DHS in May put out a list of sanctuary cities, and they included 34 Virginia communities, cities and counties on that list. It provoked laughter. In Virginia, there were cities that were not cities, but counties. There were counties that were not counties, but cities. There were jurisdictions that have virtually no immigrants whatsoever listed as sanctuary communities. (02:01–02:10)

CLAIM
