GA votes to abide by laws Feds ignore

Gov. Nathan Deal, a Republican, has 40 days to sign a bill passed by the Georgia General Assembly to ensure compliance with state laws that prohibit sanctuary policies.
The state Senate overwhelmingly approved SB 269 by a 49-2 vote, and the state House of Representatives passed the measure by a 118-52 vote.
