After DOGE, the border shutdown, and the tariff and trade debacle, it's pretty obvious that President Trump doesn't mess around.
So now he's announced that sanctuary cities are a target for federal defunding:
No more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the Criminals, not the Victims. They are disgracing our Country, and are being mocked all over the World. Working on papers to withhold all Federal Funding for any City or State that allows these Death Traps to exist!!!
Donald Trump Truth…

It makes perfect sense. Why should cities and states shielding illegally present criminals from repatriation to their homelands get so much as a dime of federal funding from other taxpayers?
If they can't obey a sensible law about getting rid of people who have committed crimes against Americans, what crimes are they themselves up to? We can see it in the massive scandals engulfing cities and states such as San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, and San Diego, along with the entire state of California, to name but just a few.
SNIP
If these cities don't back down, they're going to get it in the teeth. That will be a wakeup call, to encourage the others. One by one, I expect to see a lot of them fall into line, get their funding, and go on being wokester blue cities without that disastrous sanctuary status. But there will always be a few idiots among cities who decide they'd rather learn the hard way that Trump means what he says.

Who will be the first? Then watch how they cry.
Denver should be in the top 5.
San Francisco, CA: San Francisco was among the first US cities to establish a sanctuary law in 1989
Which judge will be first to hold it up?
Dunno when Denver did, but the idiot mayor said he would lead a pack of housewives to oppose ICE. He should be arrested.
Bullies all turn into crybabies when called into account or experiencing the consequences of their actions.
I vote for Seattle. Payback for all the elections they stole when I lived in the eastern part of the state.
Please Boston! Even the leftist are sick of Mayor Wu and stoopid Maura.
No doubt they all have black flag wearers to protect them.
I was checking that pesky constitution thingie and there it was, in black and white...
The power to regulate immigration is specifically granted to the fed.
That means the states cannot, in any shape or form, regulate immigration. This is why Texas kept getting shot down in the courts.
If the states have no say, then cities have even less say.
Declaring themselves sanctuary is a violation of the constitution.
Period.
Now, the states control their cities.
Make the state pay and watch things change...
They should all be first; at least 5 per day. Pre-dawn raids and arrests; no strongly-worded letters. And add the release of the Epstein Island visitor list to the opening day festivities. That’s way past due.
Nah...Oregon...it is a “sanctuary State!” The witches who run this state are abominations.
I’d nominate Boston.
Do Colorado first please.
So many criminals in government...so little time.
Illegals are costing us billions upon billions in services - and of course the idiot governor gives them everything, driver's licenses, free medical care paid for by us taxpayers, in-state tuition, scholarships and more.
However, Trump just added this loophole:
Giving the pro-illegal pols an excuse to call ALL illegals "necessary to California's economy."
I had such high hopes of ridding this state...
Please make it Illinois.
Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee need a smackdown.
