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.

“...I think that there’s a bigger issue here. I am left wondering just how the Federal Government got into the business of funding local law enforcement. My guess is that it was to tie the local LEO’s to Federal policies, but it seems to me that it’s simply another welfare program, this one for cops. Why not cease ALL Federal funding of local law enforcement?...”
yes
——That sheriff may want to spend his time lobbying in Sacramento.-—
I would argue that the place to lobby is Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the source of the problem
loss of the federal grant funds would “would have a negative impact on public safety in L.A. County and Southern California.”

Now that is a load of patootie!!!! another region controlled by the Dems cries out for more of the same .. Sorry, Charlie... Uhh Jim.
Or cut out the middleman and appeal directly to Mexico City - since they have clearly switched their loyalty from America to Mexico.
If they owe America nothing then America owes them nothing!
“Stockton and San Bernardino, California; Baltimore, Maryland; and Albuquerque, New Mexico”.......
Did you overlook Chicago since Emanual is threating to sue the government if they hold back payments to them as well. I say, cut them all off from the government trough, comply or else!!! Period!!!!!!!!!!!!
The small cities lack the resources for a protracted court battle. They are thus easy targets to beat and thus set a precedent.
This asswipe McDonnell should have been put in Prison for LIFE after he ordered the EXECUTION of Doug Zirby.
My people use “Shit-cago”, but your answer is also correct!
This is what happens when criminals decide which laws they will enforce according to those that favor their cronies. A sheriff that refuses to enforce federal laws becomes just another criminal.
The truth is hard to accept.
Dasboot right in the face from your LEO overlords.
