Sheriffs Sue Their Own States Over Sanctuary Policies, Says Rep. Jim Jordan

In a recent broadcast, Rep. Jim Jordan drew attention to lawsuits filed by county sheriffs in states that have adopted sanctuary policies, asserting that such laws compromise community safety. He referenced specific cases in Maryland and New York, where sheriffs argue that state-level refusal to cooperate with immigration authorities forces them to protect their constituents on their own. Jordan criticized the approach of numerous Democratic-controlled cities and states, labeling it as a “stupid policy” that endangers residents.

He emphasized that these legal actions illustrate growing frustration among local law-enforcement officials. Jordan called on Republican legislators to prioritize the issue as the midterm elections approach. The remarks were part of a broader discussion on the impact of sanctuary jurisdictions on crime and public safety.
