Tell your Senators to vote YES
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has scheduled a procedural vote for tomorrow (10/20) at 2:15 p.m. on Sen. David Vitter's S.2146 that would help end sanctuary policies! Sixty votes are needed to bring the bill to the Senate floor for debate.
Since the tragic death of Kate Steinle in July made national headlines, the Senate has yet to take action against the 340 jurisdictions that ignore requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to hold or notify the release of criminal aliens. Sen. Vitter's bill would block certain federal law enforcement grants if these jurisdictions continue to ignore ICE.

•Require the Department of Homeland Security to compile and make public a list of sanctuary jurisdictions
•Protect local police from lawsuits while they carry out ICE detainer requests
•Increase penalties for illegal re-entry, including mandatory 5-year sentencing for certain serious and repeat offenders
