Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.) took aim at Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan’s past support for “sanctuary cities,” which ignore federal immigration laws.

Ayotte, an incumbent Republican, said that local policies that defy federal law threatens the safety of the general public.

“I believe we should enforce our laws, and I believe that we shouldn’t have sanctuary cities and that we should allow local law enforcement to cooperate with federal law enforcement, because it’s important,” Ayotte told a New Hampshire radio host on Tuesday.
