Personally Thank President Trump Today
Sanctuary cities are now reeling after President Trump delivered an ultimatum via Twitter that he would withhold their federal funding if they refused to assist federal immigration authorities.
As per recent Federal Court ruling, the Federal Government will be withholding funds from Sanctuary Cities. They should change their status and go non-Sanctuary. Do not protect criminals!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 5, 2020
Trump’s tweet follows a ruling by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals that federal funding can be withheld from sanctuary jurisdictions. (Hot Air)
The ruling came after numerous courts had ruled against the Trump administration claiming it didn’t have the authority to impose immigration-related conditions on certain funding. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals said, hold on, there’s a grant program for that.
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled on Feb. 26 that the Department of Justice (DOJ) could withhold funding from cities and states that refuse to cooperate with the Trump administration’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants.
The three-judge panel found Congress had delegated authority to the attorney general to set conditions on the federal grant program it had created, called the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program.
The policy decision from the Trump administration was announced in 2017 and the lawsuits followed. The policy is to be a deterrent to cities and states that want to ignore federal immigration law and allow illegal immigrants to live and work in their cities without legal consequences, the first step being deportation. Federal law trumps, so to speak, state and local jurisdiction on immigration. Cities don’t get to dictate which federal laws they will or will not enforce.

Thank you President Trump for cracking down on sanctuary cities. It is about time they start complying with immigration rulings.
There has been no compliance yet. The question will be whether the leaders in these cities and states will be willing to see their own citizens suffer in order to protect people who have no legal right to be in this country
The federal government should not be granting our tax money to states for anything unless it is provided for in the Constitution.
Great job Mr President.my family is 100% behind you
It’s about time. These liberal judges have been tying up federal actions
for too long. It is a sorry state that one un-elected rogue judge can cancel
a President’s policies.
God bless you, Mr. President, for choosing to put an end to sanctuary cities.
Rather than protecting law-abiding citizens, they protect illegal aliens and
criminals. Protecting American citizens at home and abroad is the #1
priority of the president, and you are definitely taking that responsibility
seriously. I thank you and ask God to pour out blessings on you and your
family!

Way to go President Trump!!! Stick it to the lawbreakers, both illegal aliens and sanctuary city crooks!
Trump 2020. Keep up the good work!
Immigration policy is to be created and administered by the Federal Government, NOT the individual states or cities.
If an unauthorized person steps foot on our sacred soil, they should be immediately sent back to the country whence they came. If they commit a crime while here, they should be prosecuted to the maximum and sent back when they complete their sentence.
Let’s get them out of America!
A very good move that should have happened long ago. Now to complete what should happen is that the officials in those states and cities who established the sanctuary policies need to be charged with aiding and abetting criminal activity. I have heard all to often from those same people “nobody is above the law”. They need to be held accountable on a personal level.
At long last. These states apparently don’t want to part of the United States of America. Giving illegals and crooks a place of safety is not what most citizens want so they should be made to change their ways or no more aid from the government. Thank you President Trump. You are one person who always sticks up for the citizens and we do so appreciate it.
In NYC , or any other Sanctuary City.. First, there should be ABSOLUTELY NONE.. but since there are . WHO the Hell are these ELECTED MORON’S to ARBITRARILY DECLARE OUR CITIES as SUCH ???? WE the HARD WORKING TAX PAYER end up FOOTING the BILL for these , ” ILLEGALS ” MISCREANTS… Let Governor Scumo & Mayor DeLusional pay out of their OWN POCKETS.., & you’ll see QUICKLY it WILL ” NOT BE ” a SANCTUARY CITY or State.. I guess that , all the BABIES they KILL with their LATE-TERM MURDERING POLICIES that they can balance things out in their VILE, WARPED DERANGED MINDS.
I’m not going to get into the abortion situation but, in reference to “Sanctuary” cities, counties and states, I believe that their leaders are being paid off big time! There is no other logical explanation for what they’re doing!
About time. Why does it take 2+ years for these matters to be decided. Gov’t needs to get off their asses and get things done. If the private sector worked like our gov’t most would be broke
Democrat politicians and crooked judges blocked logical DHS operations. Hope they drown on Debt.
Not to worry, some liberal fed judge will find some lying BS way to get around it all!
Maybe but then it will end up in the Supreme Court – thank Trump again as he has put honest Judges on the court
Dear Mr President, Thank you for your persistence in getting these sanctuaries under control.
Dear President Trump: Thank you for all of your continuing efforts to restore integrity and morality in this country. These cities who desire to turn criminals loose to steal, kill and rape should not get a dime of Federal assistance!
Being a LEGAL immigrant, having gone through the process, and lawfully, I thank you mr president from the bottom of my heart.
I had to face many illegal immigrants with false green cards, false driver’s licenses in a store where we cashed checks.
Thank you again. I pray that now we will see the jobs get better, and the pay rise a little more, if there are less people to lower the bids on many jobs.
Thank you Mr President for implementing such actions ,but don’t stop there I would suggest further actions to be taken upon any elected officials who oppose our immigration laws by being fined impeached & locked up for breaking their oaths of office for not protecting the people of their communities.this to me is an outright crime perpetrated by them on the people of their communities.
It’s about time—-what the hell were the stupid politicians thinking—
communities will be safer
Thank YOU Mr. President
Go after montgomery county md. Democrats run our state and have control over our republican governor
Protection of Criminals, whatever Race, is not to be tolerated by the American People and our Politicians. It’s only Common Sense Governing!
they get what they deserve served up By Trump and the courts
He is making America great again for American citizens.
I agree with comments above. Mary G.
No one is above the law right , oh wait if you’re a democrat or an illegal alien you are drain the cesspool now !
Finally someone acting for the people to stop the lawlessness of the Demonrat party.
The federal law always is superior to state law unless they are ruled unconstitutional. If the states do not like this, they can forfeit their right to govern, secede from the union, or change the U.S. Constitution. All of these problems that we hav been having, have one cause. It is that the normal laws on the books HAVE NOT BEEN ENFORCED! If they were enforced to the letter, things like this would not even come up. The Democrat Party has misused and abused their power to go to sympathetic judges to block normal actions by PRESIDENT TRUMP for the only reason is they hate him because he is destroying their liberal anti-American actions that were implemented by former president Barack Obama. Enforce the laws now and many problems will go away. You can also stop the problems by not electing the radical Democrats intent on dividing our country.
