PIERRE, S.D. – On Feb 7th, Governor Larry Rhoden signed SB 7, which bans sanctuary cities in South Dakota.

“This bill reiterates South Dakota’s respect for the rule of law,” said Governor Larry Rhoden. “Our state has been negatively impacted by the unlawful and uncontrolled illegal immigration. Thankfully, President Trump is putting a stop to that. This bill is a step in the right direction towards keeping South Dakota strong, safe, and free.”
