Obama's Ousted HHS Sec. Claims That There Are No Federal Laws That States Must Follow in Regards to Illegal Immigration

Janet Napolitano, former homeland security secretary for President Barack Obama, said Thursday that there is “no law” requiring local police forces in so-called sanctuary cities to cooperate with federal authorities when it comes to deporting illegal immigrants.



“Won’t you be breaking the law if you don’t cooperate with federal authorities?” CNN host Carol Costello asked Napolitano, who now serves as president of the University of California and has vowed not to cooperate with any law enforcement agencies to investigate students who may be in the U.S. illegally.



The former secretary responded, “No, there’s no law that says you must cooperate with federal authorities. And, indeed, it is done consensually between law enforcement departments.”
