Rand Paul breakfast in Macomb County on heels of ‘sanctuary cities' bill

Sen. Rand Paul will speak promptly at 8 a.m. Saturday when he bring his presidential campaign to Shelby Township.

Paul, who has several events scheduled across Michigan over the next two days, will appear at a fundraising breakfast for the 10th Congressional District Republicans at the Palazzo Grande banquet hall, located just south of 25 Mile Road on Van Dyke.

Tickets are $40, or $200 for those who want the VIP treatment, including a photo with the senator.

The Kentucky Republican’s visit comes on the heels of his announcement on Thursday that he will introduce legislation to prevent "sanctuary cities" from harboring violent and dangerous criminal illegal immigrants.

The bill would require state and local law enforcement to notify the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after arresting an illegal immigrant and to detain the immigrant if ICE requests it. If the Bureau of Prisons receives a request from ICE to transfer an illegal immigrant to its custody, that request would take priority over the request from state and local agencies.

"Our nation now has whole cities and states who stand up and willingly defy federal immigration laws in order to protect illegal immigrants who have broken our nation's laws," Paul said in a statement. "This must end and it must end now. My bill makes it clear, the American people will not stand for cities harboring violent criminals:"
