During his campaign, Trump said he would cancel all federal funding to so-called sanctuary cities. On Saturday, Hodges pledged to ignore President Trump when he takes office. According to Hodges, she will see to it that Minneapolis law enforcement officers will not assist federal agents in tracking down illegal aliens.
Hodges released a statement Saturday titled Support for Immigrant Community Keeps Minneapolis Safer:
I will continue to stand by immigrants in Minneapolis. For years, Minneapolis has codified in ordinance that our police officers will not do the work of the Federal government and ICE regarding immigration status. If police officers were to do the work of ICE it would harm our ability to keep people safe and solve crimes. Witnesses and victims of crimes wont come forward if they think our police officers will question or detain them about their immigration status. Our ordinance has helped us solve crime and keep communities safer. If our police were doing the work of ICE, Minneapolis would be less safe for everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Done!!
No, it’s getting worse.
Sounds like an accomplice to any crime they commit.
“All in favor say I !”
...say aye...
So no federal money and maybe charge the mayor with violating immigration laws.
The idiot mayor implied that illegals will stop cooperating with the police on investigations of crimes, yet somehow the mayor can’t connect the dots and conclude that if the illegals were not there in the first place there would be no crimes involving illegals that would have to be investigated.
Yes! Arrest her, lock her up!
And they are illegal aliens, Ms. Mayor, NOT immigrants.
Arrest her Commie a**.
A President and his Justice Department can shut off Federal Funds.
Well Mzzzzz Hodges, you too can become subject to arrest.
Ok her.
She worked just about all the mindless PC drivel and shibboleths concerning immigration into that spiel.
-—Can a president fire a mayor?-—
No...
president-elect Trump is only in charge over the executive branch of the federal government...and CINC of the military...
Maybe boycott these cities?
Nice. Makes it easier to know how to treat people when they make their position very clear.
Wait a minute now. Make lemonade with lemons: in other areas of the country, let ICE transport all of those arrested to her city. Just an experiment to see how long a liberal can stay in office.
I’ll bet the city will miss the federal funds when it (tax payers) has to come up with the difference.
