(The Center Square) – The GOP-led House Judiciary immigration subcommittee held another hearing Tuesday on sanctuary jurisdictions, with subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock, R-Calif., saying lawmakers would get the chance to vote on his related bill before the full House of Representatives.
“The majority leader assured me last night that both sides will have that chance before the end of this session,” McClintock said.
