L.A. Sheriff Lobbies White House to Protect $132M from Sanctuary City Ban

Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell has been lobbying the Trump administration in an attempt to keep funding that the region stands to lose over its sanctuary city policies.

McDonnell has made multiple trips to Washington, D.C. to ask the government not to withhold federal funds, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. The Sheriff complained to the outlet that loss of the federal grant funds would “would have a negative impact on public safety in L.A. County and Southern California.”

However, instead of working toward cooperation with federal immigration officials that could keep the funding intact, the Sheriff appears focused on retaining the sanctuary policies while also keeping the federal funding that U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has warned could be in peril.

McDonnell has met with Sessions as well as former Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly, who now serves as White House Chief of Staff. He has also reportedly spent time lobbying members of Congress in his attempts to hold on to the $132 million the county could lose over the next three years.

There is just a whole bunch of stuff this article that says wrong!

Dude, get with the Program...

“Just this past week, the DOJ sent letters to four cities — Stockton and San Bernardino, California; Baltimore, Maryland; and Albuquerque, New Mexico; — threatening to discontinue funding over sanctuary city policies.”

WINNING!

“would have a negative impact on public safety in L.A. County and Southern California.”

But protecting criminal illegal aliens has a positive impact on public safety?

[bazineta]

Funny, you’d think a LEO would be familiar with the term ‘pain compliance’, and wouldn’t require it to be explained to them using small words.

As though having the welcome mat out for the criminal illegals improves public safety. States do not have veto power in this matter, so do without the money.

That sheriff may want to spend his time lobbying in Sacramento.

Exactly!

He can either play ball or go straight to hell.

LEO’s these days are complete morons who have no business taking my order at a drive through, much less carrying and using firearms.

I’m not surprised.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

And we should care because ...?

The L.A. City Council is like a bowl of California cereal, full of fruits, flakes and nuts, besides the usual reds, racists and liberal retards.

If you are NOT part of the SOLUTION, you are PART of the PROBLEM!

San Bernardino is already bankrupt...

That is about spot on.

Dude, save your county taxpayer's money, and stay home. The negative impact to public safety in L.A. County, and Southern California is being caused by your own stupid local policies.

The guy doesn't know the Art of the Deal. He and his county will get slaughtered!
