the sanctuary city promised not to deport him and the illegal. and an illegal smart enough to avoid apprehension to get here in the first place knows the criminal illegal has a sanctuary haven forever. so why even have a sanctuary city in hopes of improving relations when an illegal is more afraid of the other illegal than he is of the police. and so is never going to risk turning in another illegal who will be free to come after him. the whole thing is a farce.by to want to protect illegals and get them to cooperate with law enforcement. you don't need a blanket sanctuary city, the law is already in place. it's called a visa. if you are illegal and you want to report a crime. this is a visa that protects you and aloud you and your family sanctuary from deportation. so it's already the law. so sanctuary cities are safe havens for criminal aliens and not their victims legal or illegal. juan sanchez deported five times. he admitted he came to san francisco baits was a sanctuary city. how many parents do we have to parade in front of you to show you

one includes becoming a sanctuary city. joining us to talk about this is the hayward mayor, barbara holiday and kelly maca do. thank you for joining us. hayward is a city that has always been quiet, how did you get drawn into this and what prompted it? mayor. >> what prompted it is what happened at the federal level. the values of the residents of our community, we have been doing that for decades. one was tapped by president clinton in the 90s to be the first for the services that he pushed back and then. >> reporter: so, now you have a history on this and you are in the crosshairs. you are not a sanctuary city, but you are thinking of becoming one. the coming one could cost federal funds under the president's executive orders. what would mean becoming a sanctuary city mean to the city of hayward? >> right now we receive about 11 billion dollars which is five percent-a percent of the entire budget. it is impactful. we are looking at the impact on all residents and we also want to make sure we protect their rights and value

mayor rahm emanuel has declared chicago a sanctuary city and they have issued a guide to help city and county governments uphold their sanctuary policies. for "nightly business report." portland, oregon. >> let's turn to our guests who have opposing views on this nuanced topic. he supports stopping federal funding to sanctuary cities. and you are with the national immigration forum. you say it could represent a step backward. thank you for joining us. i'm going to start with you. clearly mayor emanuel said they will remain a sanctuary whether the federal funding dries up or not. can you say that for all sanctuary cities? what happens to those who rely on the federal funding? >> this is the imimpact they have and these are living the life because of this critical. when you have a city like new york or los angeles whose work force is 20, 30, 40% of the work force in the city. the last thing a mayor like the mayor rahm emanuel wants to do is to be taken as targeting or profiling an immigration community for their immigration status. it is much more than an important infusion of dollars. i

they confirm they are a sanctuary city. and prince george's county, they say they've never established they're an official sanctuary county this. baker. >> we believe that the county is following the law and we're going to honor that. we're not changing. we're not afraid of what the president said he's going to withhold. we think we're doing the right thing and following the law. and as long as we're doing that, our policies will not change. >> let's look at virginia now. alexandria. officials are telling me they don't wear the label sanctuary. they said they follow all state and immigration laws. for example, if they pull over a driver and there's a warrant out for the feds, they report them. but they don't ask people for papers or whether they're here legally or not. now, officials in arlington say they don't consider themselves a sanctuary city either. they also don't ask people if they're here illegally. fairfax officials say they're not a sanctuary city either. so why is it important to establish who the sanct -- who is

her fear, that sanctuary cities will lose federal funding as punishment by trump to discipline cities that protect illegal immigrants. >> i want our president to value them as human beings. >> reporter: how much money is at risk? >> that's what we want to find out. that's what we're asking the executive branch to come in, talk to us about the potential loss of revenue, best case, worst case scenario. >> reporter: the council president continued in his obligation to explore if the president's trump is constitutionally legal. >> i'm thankful -- >> reporter: while a majority in council stood in favor of sanctuary cities. >> quote, sneaking into a country does not make you an immigrant. >> reporter: those who didn't were booed. if the cuts were imminent would you consider changing sanctuary cities? >> i don't know if we have the jurisdiction. it's an executive order the mayor has the jurisdiction over the employees, the police and other aspects of the sanctuary city operation. >> reporter: wexler wants to continue to mentor and tutor elementary school refugees who are finding peace in our

president trump has vowed to crack down on sanctuary cities that shield illegal immigrants, including many criminals. in less than two years sanctuary jurisdictions jeekted more than 21,000 written requests from immigration and customs enforcement, or i.c.e., to detain illegal immigrants for possible deportation. of for man 240,000 who were detained and removed in 2016, 58%, or 138,000, had previously been convicted of a crime. but sanctuary cities like new york have responded to threats of enforcement action by reaffirming their resolve to protect illegal immigrants and promising a showdown. that's today's cover story. in the 1940's, this man's parents faced a difficult path to american citizenship following the u.s. immigration ban on chinese workers that lasted 61 years. >> so 43 just opened the chinese. 100 a year. 100 per year could come in as immigrants. sharyl: today he's a law professor at temple university after serving as a top immigration official under george h.w. bush. >> i teach citizenship and immigration law among other things. sharyl: he's also a strong opponent of sa

there are sanctuary cities. the legislation is titled sanctuary cities.have laws that need to be enforced. what we left out of this discussion is marion mendoza, the mother who spoke to paul ryan prior. her son was killed by a repeat offender. there is no promise to her that they were going to make sure that this doesn't happen to a family here in the united states. we should be making the promises to those people. >> that has nothing to do a sanctuary cities becauseld immigration could have picked them up in l.a. or san francisco. >> eric: what about kate steinle. kate steinle is dead. ask those families what they think. >> they let him get transferred to san francisco. when he was released from san francisco, they gave themselves eight hours to go pick them up. they have the same access to the same fingerprint banks. >> here's where we disagree. >> eric: if the city doesn't cooperate, as paul ryan pointed out, what about pulling federal funding? >> there will be consequences. there absolutely should be consequences. francisco, you're wrong. sanctuary ci

good to see you, francisco. >> good to see you. >> ed: how can you say there are no sanctuary cities in america? >> it is fiction, political fiction. the federal government, immigration, department of homeland security doesn't need a local city cooperation or enforcement to catch anybody they want. the same fingerprints from anybody that's arrested come from the federal government. the federal government can walk into any prison, jail, local authority and to take anyone they want away. >> ed: when you showed a map on the screen, the first fact is, we have a map of sanctuary cities all around america. let's start with the basic facts. you can see it right there. our viewers can see it. >> you can put pins on the map.a it doesn't matter. >> ed: local officials in those cities will not give ther department of homeland security this information about illegal aliens who have been arrested. and they are not deported and they can commit crimes here, sir. >> no, no. >> ed: i don't know why you are laughing. >> we are talking about what homeland security does. even if the city has passed any k

that includes pulling millions in federal funding for sanctuary cities. it didn't take long for the mayors to react. >> reporter: the stiff san francisco gets a billion a year in federal funding. mayor lee said he doesn't know how much of that money would be impacted if the president follows through with his sanctuary city threat but it is definitely a threat that drew a lot of reaction inside and outside city hall today. it only took minutes for demonstrators to organize the protests to the president's immigration order. outside of san francisco city hall. >> we will fight you in the streets. we will fight you in the courts. >> reporter: that promise from supervisor hillary ronan came less than an hour after mayor ed lee announced san francisco will not back down from president trump, despite a promise to withhold federal moan from sanctuary cities that do not abide by his order. >> precisely because the purpose is to keep everybody safe. >> reporter: san francisco is one of the largest sanctuary cities in the u.s. and the bay area is home to one of the

look at his talk about about sanctuary cities. he's talking about urban america as a political issue. >> how do you run against the big cities? i guess they're 85% against him. >> first of all, there are not many republican voters in those big cities. it's easy politics for the republicans. the second thing is, if you're a police chief, you really want to be able to enforce the law and have the trust of the community to cut down crime. so there's tension here. how do you actually make communities safer, and perhaps ending sanctuary city policy is not the best idea, but it's good politics for republicans because cities are willfully not enforcing the law. >> law enforcement wants to be able to go into a community and say, tell me who the criminals are. but when you have scenarios like secure communities, which basically was a dotted line between law enforcement and i.c.e., crime went up. >> because people didn't want to deal with the police. >> right. if i report a crime or a rape or an actual crime, why am i going to call the polic

we sent lauren mayk to ask about losing federal money in philadelphia for staying a sanctuary city. lauren? >> reporter: republicans are giving the president's moves on immigration some good reviews here. republican members of the house and senate are meeting across the street in a retreat in a city that could lose millions. >> this is a decision that the city has made, and i think they have to be the ones to evaluate what the implications are. >> reporter: house and senate members meeting with each other behind closed doors, hours before the president arrives. >> what we have to try and do is focus on things that unite us. >> reporter: while details of the plan to punish sanctuary cities are still emerging, it is clear the plan is to cut federal funds, even excluding law enforcement funding that could still cost philadelphia hundreds of millions of dollars. are you comfortable with stripping federal funding from sanctuary cities? >> i'm not comfortable with municipalities where elected officials will tell law enforcement not to collaborate with customs and immigration enforcement. >

there are a huge number of sanctuary cities and counties, and even states across the country. >> that'sight, and for example in the big cities, like new york, chicago, philadelphia, los angeles, san francisco, they are all very defiant, almost daring president trump to come after them. and it looks like he has, with this executive order, now made the first move to do precisely that. and look, if you are new york and you get seven to $8 billion every year from the federal government, and suddenly that is withdrawn, that may be a reason to start reconsidering your position as a sanctuary city and complying with federal law and all of these requests by i.c.e. to hand over these people who have committed crimes. >> jon: but what is to prevent bill de blasio, mayor of new york city from saint, okay, feds, we are no longer a sanctuary city. wink, wink, and he gets money and doesn't enforce the law. >> then it's up to the federal government to prove individual cases in which they didn't hanover people after they had a whole put on them. again in san francisco, juan sanchez, perfect example of

laying out how he put-- plans to secure the border with not just a wall but also an attack on sanctuary cities. >> we have the reactions from mayors who are vowing to keep sanctuary status. let's begin with lauren blanchard in washington with more on his border plan.>>>reporter: president. trump speaking with members of the department of homeland security after swearing in a new secretary, he then laid out his plan to secure the southern border which involves moving forward with one of his most controversial campaign promises , to build a wall. >> we've been talking about this from the beginning. >> he signed executive orders, one that jumpstart construction of the wall and another that will start to deny some federal funding to sanctuary cities. >> my staff will begin immediate construction of a border wall. we are going to save lives on both sides. >> meanwhile nikki haley is sworn in as us ambassador to the united nations. >> i will support and defend the constitution. >> congressional republicans take off to philadelphia for their annual policy retreat where their focus is expected to be o

on. >> how are you different from los angeles and new york and other cities that say they're a sanctuary city? >> some of those cities don't give information when somebody is arrested, some information is actually withheld from the federal government. miami-dade county has never withheld information from the federal government. when somebody is arrested here, we provide information to the federal government on the people that have been arrested. in miami-dade county, when somebody is arrested for crimes that normally are committed here, some of them may be illegal immigrants. and so undocumented aliens. and so the federal government then would have that information that that individual is under our custody. they've had that information all along. the one thing that may have put us as a sanctuary city was a report issued in may of 2016 by the obama administration and the justice department that said that because of that resolution and that change that we made in 2014, that we could be considered a sanctuary city, and we may be in jeopardy of losing federal funds. so the threat of actually losi

abby: sanctuary cities defying president and protecting illegal immigrants.igrants hit the streets, outraged over the president enforcing the law. >> good morning, ladies, liberals across the country digging against president trump's executive orderers focusing on deporting those illegal immigrants specially those criminals. >> as your president, i have no higher duty than to protect the lives of the american people, for these families, it's been one injustice after another, but that all turns around beginning today. abby: from san francisco to new york thousands rally to defy president trump's promises refusing to give up sanctuary status. >> this is a city of immigrants, we always have been for almost 400 years, this is our fundamental change. we are going to defend all of our people regardless of where they come from and regardless of their documentation and status. hundreds of sanctuary cities, new york, chicago, at risk to losing $2.7 billion of federal fund if they don't get on board with the president's plan. >> this is not some sort of crazy thinking,

what is a sanctuary city?orcement, he will not be asked about his legal status and the local jail won't hold undocumented immigrants for deportation proceedings unless they regard them as violent criminals. despite threats of funding cuts by donald trump, major us cities have already come out in favour of remaining sanctuaries. they represent a quarter of all undocumented residents in the us. and if they don't cooperate, it will be hard for the president—elect to enforce his deportation plan. i want you to know your city will stand by you and protect you every step of the way. at the root of this debate are the values of santa fe, they are values that have been in place since the earliest days more than 400 years ago. with14% of our population being made up of immigrants, we can't afford to lose them back into the shadows all to see them leave our community, because we rely on them showing up day in, day out, to provide critical services to our community. my childrens are american citizens, andl my childrens a

sanctuary city of austin, texas, is trying to be a sanctuary city.hey, the dwi that this illegal alien got was from travis county. had they deported him, my son and daughter-in-law would probably be alive right now. so i really don't think we should have sanctuary cities. liz: well, it's an outrage and a disgrace what you and your family have been put through, and it's just horrible. words can't capture it at all. and, sir, you've talked to other families in similar situation as you've been enduring, this grief is just monstrous. i mean, what is your feeling when you see donald trump stepping up and saying we hear you, we're listening to you? do you feel like you and these families have not been listened to before? >> i do feel like we have not been listened to, and i am very impressed and thank god that donald trump is doing this. he's a man of his word. i've got to say that. the sooner he gets this done, the sooner we get the sanctuary cities to dissolve, the better off and the more lives we'll be able to save. liz: are you hopeful? do you think it

. >> trump's order takes aim at sanctuary cities like philadelphia stripping federal grant money from cities that harbor illegal imgrapt immigrants. dann cuellar has that story. >> the mayor has no plans to change the city's status as a sanctuary city but qualified his statement saying he wants to hear how much the city stands to lose. >> we'll continue to uphol the fourth amendment to the institution. >> the mayor said it's unconstitutional to expect police to hold undocumented citizens without a warrant. >> proponents agree. >> immigrants won't trust police. they'll be afraid that the police are going to deport them. >> it was year west kenzington immigrants housed an undocumented immigrant from honor durs. >> she's on the road to citizenship now. >> the point was 810,000 immigrants in pennsylvania many opening businesses and contributing to society while seeking to become legal citizens. >> to say that immigrants are not economically impacting the city and is state to say theyare a drain is false. >> today, pennsylvania senator pat tomby praised the president's actions saying it wa

the trump administration refers to them as sanctuary cities. >> our city and our values did not change on the day of the election. in washington, d.c. we value our diversity and inclusivity and being a sanctuary city means that we are not an agent of the federal government. it means our police can focus on serving d.c. residents, protecting and serving them no matter their immigration status. >> reporter: the groups who gathered here today say they do plan more protests as more immigration measures are unveiled. live in northwest, jackie bensen news4. >>> alexandria, arlington, countys are also considered sanctuary cities or counties in our region. last night we reported fairfax county was part of that group and that's not correct. county is proud of its diversity but does cooperate with the federal government on immigration when required. >>> we've been watching this war of words between president trump and mexico's president. it all boils down to that wall on the border. president enrique peen ya spoke to his entire counted tonight and was adamant that his country won't pay for the w

instead of directly funding sanctuary cities, cut off funding as appropriate. let's take our time let them find out how much it costs to take this noble stand against the constitution. charles: speaking of -- >> that is hard on a lot of people i'm afraid. if you do that i just assume spare innocent citizens and taxpayers of these communities. charles: seems to me, guys, there will be some form of a showdown, boston, chicago, san francisco. there is going to be some form of a showdown. securing the border i think is the easy part. getting rid of illegal immigrants, even those who committed most heinous of crimes, they have got protection. this is the shameful part of this. listen to the part where donald trump talked about the forgotten victims. i'm not sure the mayor of boston knows about these people. >> pundits talk about how enforcing immigration laws can separate illegal immigrant families, but the families they don't talk about are the families of americans. forever separated from the people they love. they don't talk about that. ever. as your president, i

what about the sanctuary cities ? the directive that sanctuary cities could lose federal funding.ederal funding comes in so many different forms. how much on that regard does trump actually hold and do sanctuary cities actually run a risk of losing significant federal funding? >> it would depend on exactly what the criteria for the appropriations are. for example, something in education, it's going to be sent out according to eligibility. for the money and the school districts. i don't think the president can single out particular cities, again that is something that would have to go back to congress. at the moment, it's probably more heat than light. >> we should point out that president obama signed 3 executive orders in his 1st week of office as well. thank you for joining us. >>> you heard from our legal expert. joining me now is a republican here in the bay area he may look familiar to you. the former chair of the california republican party. thank you for being here. mr. trump has been busy. what do you make of his executive orders? very ambitious. you like what you're seein

i guess i'm asking about the sanctuary cities because in this order, they're saying they're going to withhold federal grants from any city that does not -- that cannot faithfully execute the immigration laws of the united states. i'm reading right from the order. that means not just getting rid of criminals, but enforcing all laws and going after people who might have families, who might be working but are illegally here. are you okay with that? >> i think logically we need to assume that we want our domestic -- our local municipality, whether it's state, county or city level to follow the laws of the federal government. when they don't and when they explicitly and outright say we're going to disobey a federal order, disobey our federal law, there's a problem. and i think the trump administration has an obligation to do something about that. >> nice to have your thoughts with us today, your perspective. thanks so much. >> good afternoon. >> you, too. >>> we do go back to that breaking news now. that is that tv legend mary tyler moore has died at the age of 80 years old. it pains me to
