CAPS Praises Bill That Allows Victims of Crimes Committed By Illegal Aliens To Sue Sanctuary Jurisdictions

Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) Executive Director Ric Oberlink said:

“The Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act is a common sense bill that gives victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens recourse to seek damages from jurisdictions who give sanctuary to illegal aliens. All levels of government should be accountable to the people. When state or local officials refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement officials, we become the victims.”

“Too many families have had their lives destroyed by criminal illegal aliens benefitting from sanctuary policies. If Congress can’t pass legislation outlawing cities and states from giving sanctuary to criminal illegal aliens, the least they can do is allow victims to seek damages when these jurisdictions fail to cooperate with federal law enforcement officials. It’s willful negligence, and it has to stop.”
