WASHINGTON—Residents of sanctuary cities and states injured or killed by illegal aliens would be able to sue their jurisdictions for damages under legislation introduced July 25 in the House of Representatives by two Republican congressmen.
The Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act of 2019 is co-sponsored by Reps. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) and Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.). A companion bill to the House version was introduced in the Senate earlier this month by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.).
