That’s the headline in the U.K. Daily Mail regarding the decision of Louisville, KY, to end their status as a “sanctuary” city.
The Democrat mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, announced that the city will change some of its immigration policies, making it no longer a sanctuary city.
Mayor Craig Greenberg announced on Tuesday that the city will reinstate a policy requiring ICE to receive 48 hours’ notice before inmates with immigration detainers are released from jail, reported WAVE.
The policy requires that inmates booked at Louisville Metro Corrections be fingerprinted and entered into a federal database accessible by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
You will recall that a few months ago, DHS published a “naughty list” of city/county/state jurisdictions that were “sanctuaries” not cooperating with the agency. Apparently, Louisville made the dishonor roll and has now acted to get back into good graces with DHS.
Once again quoting the late Nobel-prize winning economist Milton Friedman,
The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.
