...using public funds to protect those who have violated federal law

I believe that is called graft.

[yoe]

There are laws governing illegal aliens....wouldn’t these laws have to be repealed before going forward with the wants of illegals or their lawyers?

[EinNYC]

Is this even legal, to use taxpayer monies to defend criminal aliens? I think this is different than public defenders for common criminals, to set up a special entity for illegals.

“It’s the same as selling dope, shooting somebody. Illegal is illegal.”

Which our friends from south of the border are often inclined to do.

[seastay]

Trumps plan has been to target the criminal illegals first so that this money which could go to local police, after giving them authority to keep law and order is just meant as a finger to law abiding citizens

[Leep]

Our lawyers getting a cut or are they working for free?

[Mike Darancette]

Trump should take the cities up on this largess by removing all of their cases to these venues. See how long their money lasts.

[Gay State Conservative]

Penalize all cities/counties/states that actively try to subvert the country's immigration/residency/labor laws.Withdraw their funding!

[Mike Darancette]

“I’d like to see the administration put the same amount of effort into creating a legal representation fund for all of those young black boys and black girls that are racially profiled in this city or are shot by the police unnecessarily or to support programs like CeaseFire to quell some of the violence in our community,” said Alderman Pat Dowell.

Black Americans are not as important to the Democrat overlords as they once were.

[Mollypitcher1]

Thy are NOT “immigrants.” They are ILLEGAL ALIENS!

[mikefive]

Kinda for it. 1.3 million will cover about how many lawyers for how many cases? 50? 100? Flood the court with charges against the illegals and make the city, and the a$$clowns that keep reelecting these morons hurt where it really counts.

[Little Ray]

In a sane world, that would make the city councils and mayors accessories to a criminal conspiracy to violate US Immigration Law.

[The Toll]

Their brazen refusal to accept this nations laws must be punished, or all refusal to comply is legitimate.

Liberals do not simply get to ignore laws in which they disagree. Not unless everyone gets to do the same.

[forgotten man]

Californians will vote to raise taxes on themselves to pay for this.

[ConservativeMind]

I seem to recall that Immigration courts can refuse all defendants’ attorneys and rule immediately for quick deportation.

Congress may need to direct that, though, but it used to be in place. Hundreds of cases lumped together and done in an hour was the kind of thing that happened, in my understanding.

Effectively, the process didn’t allow a defense and was super fast.

[Secret Agent Man]

Big city libs will do their share to reduce the federal budget.

Makes it easier for Trump.

[libstripper]

There’s NO WAY DemonCrap legislators at all levees will spend this kind of money to assist illegal aliens unless those very illegals are voting for DemonCraps by the millions; thus came the Witch’s “victory” in the popular “vote”. That’s why we must have PRESIDENT Trump ASAP—to stop this attempted theft of America by DemonCraps and their illegal accomplices.

[umgud]

OK, so Trump is gonna cut off their fed $ and now their going to reach into their bottomless pit of $ to save the illegals.
real rocket scientists here.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Wouldn’t it be nice if American elected representatives represented the interests of American citizens instead of fraudulently documented foreigners?

Legal Defense Fund for Illegals... You can not make this stuff up!
