House to vote on blocking federal funds for 'sanctuary cities'

House Republican leaders have decided members will vote this week on legislation that would deny millions of dollars in federal funding to “sanctuary cities” that do not enforce federal immigration laws.

The legislation was added Monday to the House schedule, and according to a spokesman from the office of the Majority Leader. The earliest that vote could come is Thursday, since the House Rules Committee will meet Wednesday evening to agree on rules for debate and voting on the legislation.
