Senate Judiciary Committee Postpones Mark-up of “Sanctuary Cities” Bill

On September 17, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary again postponed the mark-up of the “Stop Sanctuary Cities Act” (S.1814). During the mark-up, Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Senator David Vitter (R-LA) were expected to offer a substitute amendment to the bill that would strip CDBG funding from communities that have immigrant “sanctuary” laws and policies in place (See Memo, 9/14). It is unclear when the mark-up will be rescheduled.
