Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook) voted June 29 to punish Hudson, Kingston, and other so-called "sanctuary cities" in his district by voting for H.R. 3003. The bill passed 228-195 and would require cities to work closer with federal immigrant enforcement officials, and allows federal law enforcement funds to be withheld from cities that do not comply. Locally, Hudson, New Paltz, Newburgh, Bethlehem, and Kingston are some of the towns that have adopted resolutions saying they will not support efforts to deport local workers. CNN predicts the bill may not pass in the Senate.
