The federal government should withhold funds to law enforcement agencies in cities and towns where local officials refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Geoff Diehl said.
Diehl acknowledged that federal courts have ruled that the federal government can't withhold all federal funds to so-called sanctuary cities and states, and he also identified himself as a federalist who believes in states' rights.
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and his challenger Jay Gonzalez met in a televised debate for the first time Tuesday night, where the Republican incumbent focused on his accomplishments in his nearly four years in office and Gonzalez, a Democrat, cast himself as someone with vision to take the state beyond business as usual.
