Sanctuary cities sending illegal immigrants to red states would face steep consequences under proposed bill

Proposed legislation from a Utah lawmaker would cut funding to sanctuary cities that attempt to transport illegal migrants into non-sanctuary municipalities.

Republican Rep. Burgess Owens of Utah presented the Sanctuary City Oversight and Responsibility in Enforcement (SCORE) Act to the public on Friday, promising the bill would hold sanctuary cities responsible for their own migrants if passed.

"If this administration won't fight for American safety, security, and rule of law, our Republican majority will," Owens said.
