n today’s feel good news: Several more cities have joined Miami in rejecting sanctuary city status in fear of losing federal funding.
Several towns, cities and counties around the nation are caving to President Trump’s threat to pull funding, and abandoning their “sanctuary” pledges to shield illegal immigrants from federal authorities.
Dayton, Ohio, dropped a policy that restricted the city’s cooperation with immigration officials pursuing illegal immigrants arrested for misdemeanors or felony property crimes, according to the Dayton Daily News. Police Chief Richard Biehl said federal authorities will no longer be impeded by the city when pursuing illegal immigrants being held by his department.
Other communities that have dropped policies of shielding illegal immigrant suspects from Immigration and Customs Enforcement include Miami-Dade and Dayton, are Saratoga, N.Y., Finney County, Kan., and Bedford, Penn., according to The Center for Immigration Studies, which keeps a list of sanctuary communities.
“We are reviewing policy changes at a multitude of other jurisdictions as well,” said Marguerite Telford, CIS’s director of communications, who said the organization is “being inundated” by officials on its sanctuary map who want to be taken off.
. . . . Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, predicted many more communities will be dropping or dramatically modifying their sanctuary stances.
“We’re going to see more of this,” Mehlman told Fox News. “Faced with the possibility of losing federal dollars, they’ll choose to keep funding public services rather than protecting illegal aliens.”
Isn’t it wonderful when the grownups are in charge?
In time they will all cave to the specter of losing their precious federal dollars.
We always knew they would.
These jack asses in those cities will either capitulate and express contrition or we will prosecute and imprison them for obstructing criminal justice like NIXON. We not only EO their money GONE but we have a Homeland Security Force od 250,000 agents. 2500 armored personaell carriers . 50,000 AR 15s and 1 BILLION rounds of .223 ammo. . Itn is ours now!! Get on your worthless knees , you illegal alien loving POS!~
Interesting, as soon as liberals are expected to show the strength of their convictions with their own money, they fold!
Great news, but I would urge the Trump administration to “trust but verify.” Make sure these cities aren’t just saying what the administration wants to hear in order to save their funding. They must first demonstrate actual cooperation with ICE, and if at any point going forward they drag their feet then funding should still be pulled on the spot.
Needs a good thwacking with a Singapore cane.
I want these communist administrations punished harshly. Illegal aliens O U T !! We welcome LEGALS only!!

Is he taking a dump or trying to get a date?
The only thing that would be more gratifying is to see the federal marshals enforcing federal law in the secessionist capitals like Ithaca and Sacramento. No game-playing with federal funds, rather enforcement of the law.
So..., much..., WINNING!
If grabbin’ ‘em by the gonads doesn’t work, grab ‘em by the wallet!
Caving? You might say that; but I prefer to look at it as the law now has meaning. I think they know the jig is up.
Yeh...But is it just going underground??
