New Jersey no longer allowing "sanctuary" cities.

NJ changes policy on illegal immigrants

From the Mayor""I often see people back on our streets that I believe should not be back on our streets after they've committed serious crimes," Newark Mayor Cory Booker said. "I would be remiss if I wasn't calling for larger changes and larger reforms in the state of New Jersey and the United States."

Yet he continues to blame the guns as a member of MAIG.

Maybe if more states would pursue this, maybe the cities that are seeing the highest rises in crime (also mostly "sanctuary cities") would see a subsection of crime reduced.

LA just had a sweep against some of the most violent gang members yet they are also a sanctuary city. Since it's already been well documented that a significant portion of these gangs (MS-13, etc) are made up of illegal immigrants, that means the police who arrested them won't be able to inform the immigration authorities.

While it's regretfull that it takes an incident like the Newark slayings to show people that there are a lot more significant issues related to crime than firearms, Hopefully this trend will continue.
