Bobby Jindal: Arrest Mayors Of Sanctuary Cities As Accessories To Illegal Alien Crime

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, is calling on mayors of sanctuary cities to be arrested as accomplices to the crimes illegal aliens receiving special treatment in their cities commit.

“Absolutely, I would hold them as an accomplice,” Jindal said on Boston Herald Radio on Monday morning, as reported by BuzzFeed, Jindal said of mayors of sanctuary cities. “Make them criminally culpable. I’d also make them civilly liable so that families, victims’ families could sue. Especially if the prosecutor isn’t taking action or the mayor’s not changing their ways, I’d allow the families to go to court as well to recover damages.”

In late July, Jindal released a detailed plan—his “Partners In Crime Plan”—to hold officials in sanctuary cities accountable for what they have done.

The plan calls first for Congress to “criminalize” sanctuary cities existing by “making city officials that enact those policies as an accessory to the crimes committed by the illegal aliens those policies enabled.”

Secondly, Jindal’s plan would have Congress give “standing to victims and their families to civilly sue local, state, and federal officials for failing to enforce the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) or failing to bring criminal charges of accessory against public officials that enact these policies.”

Citizens arrest...with pitchfork and torches.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I like it.

Oh please. Why blame the mayors? They end up between a rock and a hard place, in between state law and what not.

Plus, the remedy for executives who fail to enforce the law isn't jail (what's the crime?), it's removal from office.

I figure "arrest the mayors" makes a for a nice sound bite, and maybe he let it be known it was tongue in cheek. Might as well arrest the legislators who pass "sanctuary laws" while we're at it.

Bobby Jindal: Mayors Of Sanctuary Cities Should Be Arrested

[stephenjohnbanker]

Waste of aiR> The GOP leadership is all for “sanctuary cities”

[DoughtyOne]

Don’t stop there. Every member of their city council that voted for sanctuary status should join the mayor in jail.

[Cboldt]

Mea culpa - Jindal was describing proposed legislation, not the use of existing law.

I think his proposal for new legislation is on a good track, especially allowing civil liability. it's a radical departure from current law which holds the government has no duty to protect any individual from crime.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Trump needs to announce that his DOJ will prosecute any public official who violates Federal Law. Subject these officials to being sued by families of victims of illegal aliens, too.

[EinNYC]

Brilliant! I agree. These mayors are no more than accessories to crime. First, the crime of illegals crossing our border without permission. Second, the numerous crimes, including rape and murder, committed by these illegals.

[DoughtyOne]

Have any states voted to become sanctuary states?

Might as well arrest the legislators who pass "sanctuary laws" while we're at it.

Mayors and city council members seem like fair game to me.

[aquila48]

I agree - these scumbugs never pay for the consequences of their misguided policies.

[Lopeover]

I agree. These leaders violated Federal law, I see Obama Admin as having more culpability, DHS allowed the lack of immigration enforcement. Obama should be impeached.

[Bogey78O]

This is interesting as Mitch Landrieu just clarified that New Orleans will officially not cooperate with INS in enforcing immigration law.

Sounds like Mitch may be between a rock and a hard place soon.

The plan calls first for Congress to “criminalize” sanctuary cities existing by “making city officials that enact those policies as an accessory to the crimes committed by the illegal aliens those policies enabled.”

How about a plan calling for Congress to enforce our existing border laws and build a fence? Without that, the rest is just empty gesturing. How long are we going to come up with BS "immigration reform" plans and plans to criminalize sanctuary cities while ignoring the cause of the problem?

[I want the USA back]

They’re not accessories. Their actions were irresponsible but did not assist in the execution of a crime.

Yep, that will happen when they complete the Wall.
