Mayor, others could face charges if passed
CINCINNATI — Cincinnati and state officials would be prohibited from adopting “sanctuary city” protections for undocumented immigrants and held criminally liable for any crimes committed by such immigrants under a proposal headed to Ohio’s legislature.
A bill announced Monday by Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel and State Rep. Candice Keller, R-Middletown, would define and outlaw sanctuary jurisdictions and declare sanctuary policies contrary to federal law and state interests.
