President Donald Trump declared that he will be cutting off federal funds to sanctuary jurisdictions across the country beginning in February.
The White House will cease all federal payments to city and state governments that restrict cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, Trump said Tuesday while addressing the Detroit Economic Club. The declaration follows intense national focus on immigration policy, with multiple lawsuits against enforcement surges racking up and Democrats demanding the Department of Homeland Security scale back activities.

Ouch. They’re going to have to turn to Venezuela for funding. Oh darn they can’t.
He’s trying to be nice ! These cities are snubbing the law and it is a form of insurrection .These clowns in the communist liberal bastions seem to forget the Supremacy Clause where federal law overides state laws.
It’s about damn time. He should have done this on day one.
Not going to translate into a positive visual for the GOP going into the mid-term elections.
Only to Rinos.

Well, there’s always Communist China. Maybe “China Mitch” McConnell can provide them with some leads.
Step 2 - shut down their post offices.
This WILL hurt. Libs are addicted to junk mail. 🤣
I sooo voted for this!!

“ Not going to translate into a positive visual for the GOP going into the mid-term elections.”
I don’t see that as an issue. You think Republican voters want Trump to fund sanctuary cities w federal funding and … what?
Anyway, Trump is not looking at the midterms in any conventional way.
(Libs are addicted to junk mail.)
Newman: Well, there’s really no such thing as “junk mail”.... 📬
No way in February is any Democrat-appointed judge not going to keep the money tap opened. Not a good look.
Go ahead and file your law suits but in the mean time you get to use your own state funds or starve. And now no smarmy lib federal judge to bail you out with a bogus injunction. Sucks to be you blue states.
Excellent!
With the establishment of Fraud in so many Prog Marxist Democrat States and Cities, Sanctuaries being at the top of the list, there will be less resistance to this action.
This is will be rightly challenged in court. He may not like it but Trump does not have the authority to cut off funds that were appropriated through legislation.
The most he can probably do under his executive authority is cut off funds that come from administrative agencies and are dedicated to the enforcement of immigration laws. For example Boston PD system has received a grant from ICE to help pay for temporarily housing illegal immigrants in their jails.
Trump is not the king of Congress’ purse strings. He must know this because he is not a stupid man
Maddow’s show has 1.8 mil viewers. The Five has 3.6 million
There are no huge building burning riots in Minnesota like 5 years ago
People are not buying it
Alrighty then. Aren’t you the Debbie Downer...
The AWFULs are protesting ICE in sanctuary Medford Oregon. Disgusting hyenas.
GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
