Trump says he will block U.S. funds to 'sanctuary' jurisdictions
Source: Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would withhold money from so-called sanctuary jurisdictions after a U.S. court ruled that his administration could block federal law enforcement funds to states and cities that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
The Republican president, who is seeking re-election in the Nov. 3 election, has taken a hardline stance toward legal and illegal immigration. His battle against Democratic-led sanctuary jurisdictions focuses on laws and policies that limit local law enforcement cooperation with federal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.
...
On Feb. 26, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled in favor of the administration and said the funding cuts were valid. But three other federal appeals courts have ruled against blocking such funds, setting up a possible appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
...
The 2nd Circuit overturned a lower court ruling directing the release of federal funds to New York City and the states of New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Virginia and Washington.

More reasons to get this orange piece of shit out of office. He wants to deport the Dreamers before they can become citizens and support Democrats in future elections.

(8,810 posts)I have often wondered, what if the taxpayers didn't pay the Federal Taxes..........
Of course with all the employed wage people, it is automatically withheld and sent in........Although, they could increase their dependents to the maximum..........
The self employed could way under estimate their incomes..........
Of course, if this Republican pseudo government succeeds, a large amount of the nation will be un-employed or way way under employed.....We will have an upper-upper class of the 1%, and a lower-lower class of the other 99% with not many in between!
I suspect their first moves would be to discontinue all forms of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc etc etc to show all of us who is in charge.........
But, if they cut off Federal Funding, many many of the Trumphumpers that live in Red States, especially all the Southern states, would be cut first, because the predominate amount of them take far more Federal funding than they send to Washington!
I sure hope not...............

Do you remember when one of the first things Melania did was to cut down a tree that blocked their view? Symbolic of what was to come. We need the WH cleansed with Lysol.

(50,553 posts)The first thing President Biden will have to do is find a room in the White House thats fairly far from the Oval Office and have the walls torn out and redone. After Trump, the Oval Office is so full of bugs it will never be able to be used for anything more than ceremonial purposes.

This edict has the force of a sponge. Compliance will be verbal but uncooperative in many cases.
