From a more inclusive(not screened for liberals) version of the story:
_____________________________________________________________________________
“Homan said that Brown and other sanctuary-jurisdiction leaders may have violated 8 U.S. Code § 1324 - relating to “harboring certain aliens.”

He said he hopes the Justice Department will look into whether officials can be criminally charged under the statute.

According to text of the federal law cited by Homan, any person “knowing... the fact that an alien has come to... the United States in violation of the law, conceals, harbors or shields from detection... such [an] alien in any place” can face fines and/or up to several years in prison.

Watch more above.”

Well I have been asking about this for ever. Never could get an answer. Not even here. About time.

Note that the law says the penalty applies for each occurrence. So you can count each illegal being shielded and multiply the penalty by that number.
________________________________________________________________
Here is the Law:

(ii) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), (iv), or (v)(II), be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both;

(iii) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) during and in relation to which the person causes serious bodily injury (as defined in section 1365 of title 18) to, or places in jeopardy the life of, any person, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both; and

(iv) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) resulting in the death of any person, be punished by death or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, fined under title 18, or both.

I’ve posted the law many times as well. Criminals like Brown are breaking the law.
Enforce the law, Rip van Sessions! They aren’t exempt, unless the DC overlords are providing some kind of professional scofflaw courtesy ...
Put the `sanctuary’ lawbreakers on notice that they are in violation. They would do it to us in a heartbeat if we broke their federal or state laws.
If they ignore the notice, start indicting them. Like a lot of law-abiding citizens, I’m fed up with their nose-in-the-air “We’re above the law” bullshit.
