Bevin backs legislation prohibiting 'Sanctuary Cities' By Nicole Burton Frankfort, KY - On Friday, July 12, 2019, Gov.

"These types of policies are in direct violation to the oath that police officers take to protect and serve their communities, and legislation is necessary to ensure that law enforcement can do their job without the undue influence of politics."
