A group of Republican senators in a letter to Merrick Garland asked the Attorney General to, “immediately release” memos to Congress that in late April restored federal monies for sanctuary cities in “at least 11 states.”

“In order to better understand current DOJ policy, and the impact it will have on the public safety, health, and well-being of hardworking Americans, we demand, as a matter of Congressional oversight, that you immediately release any guidance memos related to the decision to reinstate funding for sanctuary cities and jurisdictions,” wrote the senators in a letter to Garland. “This information should be made readily available to Congress and to the American people in order to evaluate this unfortunate policy change.”
