The way to deal with "sanctuary cities" and New Haven with their ID card is to make them liable for all civil damages caused by the illegals they harbor.

A few 8 figure judgements against them, you'd see
a quick end to sanctuary city/ ID card nonsense.

Illegal alien "ID cards" are a joke and should be abolished. Americans and specifically, local police, do not know who these illegals really are! They use any number of false or stolen U.S. ID names.

If any citizen is harmed in any way by an illegal---due to Yale and city officials protecting illegals----SUE EVERYONE INVOLVED!!!!

This is the US---it is meant for US citizens----and those who enter our country LEGALLY----ILLEGALS are criminals----and these people are aiding CRIMINALS to avoid our laws!!!

Vote EVERY single one of the treasonous politicians and elected officials out of office, the first opportunity that arises!!!!
