GOP-House passes bill to end DC's 'sanctuary' city statutes

The Republican-controlled House on Thursday night passed legislation requiring Washington, D.C., to comply with federal immigration laws and end its status as a so-called sanctuary city.

The bill, if passed in the GOP-led Senate and signed into law, would block D.C. policies that restrict it from sharing immigration status information with the Department of Homeland Security and prevent it from complying with Immigration and Customs Enforcement requests to detain people until ICE officers can take them into custody.
