Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal wants to hold mayors and city officials liable for crimes committed by illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities across the United States. The presidential candidate argues that the GOP needs to do more than defund sanctuary cities, as legislation passed by House Republicans would accomplish.

Jindal’s proposal has two main components, which include that Congress should criminalize sanctuary city policies and give victims and families the standing to file a civil suit against local, state and federal officials for failing to enforce immigration law or for failing to bring criminal charges against the public officials that enact such policies.
