Funding for sanctuary cities stripped in late House vote

The House late Wednesday voted to block federal transportation and housing funding from cities and states that choose not to cooperate with federal officials on immigration.

Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., brought up his language as an amendment to a minibus spending bill and proposed attaching it to part of the bill that deals with transportation and housing funding. It was the latest Republican attack on so-called sanctuary cities, which reject federal demands to cooperate when it comes to detaining and tracking illegal immigrants.

"It just requires that funds in Transportation, Housing and Urban Development funds only go to cities and states that uphold federal law," Smith said in late Wednesday debate.

    Will there be follow up to prohibit the transfer of funds from one account to another by the State when the States get these funds cut. Has to be follow up to guarantee the States involved do not pull this switcheroo as they always do on a daily basis.
