WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman August Pfluger introduced the No Funding for Sanctuary Cities Act, legislation to block states and localities that prevent the enforcement of federal immigration law from receiving taxpayer-funded grants and programs.

Rep. August Pfluger (TX-11): “For years, liberal mayors and governors have proudly interfered with the enforcement of federal immigration law by declaring their regions ‘Sanctuary Cities.’ Now, they are begging for more federal funding to manage the influx of illegal aliens due to President Biden’s border crisis. Under no circumstances should a state or local government that flouts federal law be entitled to hardworking taxpayer dollars. Defund sanctuary cities—not the police.”
