Among several directives issued Wednesday, Bondi charged the DOJ with identifying and evaluating funding agreements with nongovernmental organizations that provide support to undocumented immigrants, Fox News Digital first reported.

She also tasked the department with investigating instances of sanctuary jurisdictions obstructing law enforcement and “directing they be prosecuted, when necessary,” the outlet wrote.

I hope funds to sanctuary states like mine, Washington, get funds slashed too. You would not believe how many screaming dunderheads we have here.

It is kinda easy to stop funding something—a few keystrokes on a computer these days.

1.8 billion dollars.

omg.

Straight into my veins! For someone to go against sanctuary cities for openly and defiantly violating immigration law has been on my wish list for a long long time. After the Laken Riley murder, it moved into the top three.

Ya know. With all those bad guys going to Gitmo and Ecuador. It leaves a lot of space for the folks you’re mentioning. Just saying. “Pam Bondi pick up the white courtesy phone please.”

The last 4 years of hell was worth it. Keep praying for Trump though, the devil is raging now..especially after the Gaza announcement. Trump may be getting ahead of himself, GAZA is a severed demonic stronghold.
