MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Republican proposals targeting sanctuary cities that offer protections for immigrants living in the country illegally are back in the Wisconsin Legislature, after a similar effort died last year following an outpouring of opposition.
Two bills, including one circulated this week by the same sponsors as a failed measure last year, attempt to force local governments into complying with federal immigration laws.
The proposals pit law-and-order Republicans against the immigrant community.
