South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden has signed Senate Bill 7 into law, effectively banning sanctuary cities throughout the state. The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) praised this action, emphasizing its impact on public safety and law enforcement uniformity.
According to Clay Rhodes, State Government Affairs Director at FGA, "Governor Rhoden delivered a massive win for the rule of law and the safety of South Dakota families." He noted that the ban ensures no jurisdiction within South Dakota can ignore or undermine immigration laws. Rhodes further commented, "The state will be stronger and her citizens safer because of this new law."
The FGA is a non-profit think tank advocating for policies that aim to enhance opportunities for Americans. More information about their work can be found on their website.
