In his continued efforts to address the number of undocumented immigrants in the country, President Trump took a harder line against cities and jurisdictions whose mayors have said they won't cooperate with his plans to enlist their police forces to help the federal government round up undocumented immigrants.
The president said that he will cut federal funding to the police budgets of so-called sanctuary cities — like New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C — which could cost them billions of dollars. (Ahilan Arulanantham, a human rights attorney, told us on the Code Switch podcast this week that some big legal fights between those cities and the White House over whether the federal government has the authority to withhold that law enforcement funding are likely.)
But if threatening to cut off federal funding won't make sanctuary cities fall in line, the president is ready to try shaming them. According to one of the executive orders he signed on immigration enforcement this week, the White House intends to publicize when sanctuary cities do not comply by "[making] public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens."

Absolutely Orwellian, and paid for by your tax dollars.
Defund this propaganda arm of the DNC.
Wow if this isn’t a piece of absolute propaganda I don’t know what is.
I hope Trump defunds these liars someday.
No DATA in the article to back up the claim, the author just says, “DATA SHOWS...”
If you expect to hear data to help you make up your own mind, then you’re not a proper NPR listener.
Stop using our hard earned money to fund subversive operations like NPR!!!
Kate Steinle would disgreee.
If she could, but San Francisco released her 5 times deported murderer so he could kill her.
With a federal agent’s gun.
I’m sure they will follow this article with another explaining how they think Black People are too poor and stupid to get ID’s. Their lies never end.
“On average, counties that did not comply with ICE requests experienced 35.5 fewer crimes per 10,000 people than those that did. Wong also found that counties that did not comply with detainer requests had higher household incomes, lower rates of unemployment, lower rates of poverty, and were less likely to have children under 18 in households receiving public benefits.”
So, you have richer counties (read “whiter”) which declare themselves sanctuaries. Now, is the lower crime rate due to the sanctuary status, or did these places already have lower crime rates when they became sanctuaries?
I think we can figure out this lie with statistics.
How soon can NPR and PBS be defunded? They are clearly biased advocacy groups, not journalism not non-partisan.
Absolutely! The government has as much business funding a radio station as they do funding a pizza shop or a bowling alley.
Gene Demby is a “Professional Black Man” and Commentator on “All things pertaining to Being A Black Man.”
IOW, he does not want to evaluated as a writer for his wisdom, intellect, character and turn of a phrase. He is a BLACK MAN and everyone should care about why that makes him special when compared to Whites, Browns, Yellows & Reds. [Don’t forget the BLUES! The Russian ‘Polar Bear Club’ just hit the water last week!]
IOW, he is a RACIST.
Contrast him with Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams or Larry Elder.
No liberal ran cities are safe. Maybe NYC was for a long time, but then again, that was when a Republican was Mayor.
Isn’t Chicago a “sanctuary” city? Sanctuary for whom? Criminals?
npr won’t have a thing to worry about then when DHS puts out its stats on sanctuary cities.
This is like one of NPR’s smarmy propaganda pieces at the time of homobamacare’s implementation - “You’re going lose your doctor - and that’s a good thing!”

I was very disappointed to hear Larry Mendte take this line on his WABC radio talk show last night. He said it helped police "catch the bad guys."
Uh, Larry, illegal aliens are bad guys.
I used to like listening to him. No more.
