His bill, introduced Wednesday, comes on the heels of the murder of Kate Steinle at the hands of a multiple-deportee, multiple felon who was released from custody due to San Francisco’s sanctuary polices. “The senseless murder of a young woman in San Francisco last week tragically illustrates that the politicization of the immigration debate has now swamped even common-sense efforts to protect public safety,” Cotton said. “It is unacceptable that cities would issue ordinances that explicitly aim to frustrate federal immigration laws that are supposed to keep illegal immigrant felons off the streets.”
