Miami Mayor to Comply with Trump Mandate on Sanctuary Cities

Money matters more than principles for these progressives. 

Surprise, surprise! Something that you might never have thought would happen has happened in Miami on Thursday.

Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez announced that county jails must “comply with federal immigration detention requests.” This move effectively ends Miami’s status as a sanctuary city.

According to the Miami Herald:

Gimenez cited an executive order signed Wednesday by President Donald Trump that threatened to cut federal grants for any counties or cities that don’t cooperate fully with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Since 2013, Miami-Dade has refused to indefinitely detain inmates who are in the country illegally and wanted by ICE — not based on principle, but because the federal government doesn’t fully reimburse the county for the expense.

Okay, so the move by Gimenez centers around money instead of principle, but it still got the job done of ending sanctuary for illegals who commit crimes and aren’t reported to ICE
