(The Center Square) – White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says she doesn’t expect mayors or governors of sanctuary jurisdictions like Illinois being arrested unless they commit crimes.
“Unless they commit a crime, I don’t see them being arrested, but if they are violating federal law, if they are violating state law, then, of course, they should be arrested by state and local law enforcement.
If they are violating federal law, then they can expect the consequences of that behavior,” Leavitt said.
Ford said sending the federal National Guard to a city is different than the state National Guard being called in by the governor.
“When the national convention was here, the DNC, there was state National Guard that helped patrol the streets and protect and deter crime,” Ford told The Center Square.
