Blue States have been going out of their way to defend illegals. It seems these States are no longer interested in the rule of law. So Trump took action and told these Blue States that unless the laws change they have to abide by them. The Criminal Havens refused to listen and even went as far as to sue over the being refused federal funding for aiding criminals break our laws. But now an appeals cout has seen reason an is allowing Trump to cut funding to these States that refuse to follow our laws.
Trump commented about it on Twitter.
“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,” he said. “Do not protect criminals!”
“The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York last month overturned a lower court ruling that stopped the administration’s 2017 move to withhold grant money from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program, which dispenses over $250 million a year to state and local criminal justice efforts.
The decision conflicts with rulings from other appeals courts across the country concerning sanctuary policies, indicating a Supreme Court review is ultimately likely.
New York City and liberal states, including New York, Washington, Massachusetts and Connecticut, sued the government, and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York backed them – ordering the money be released and stopping the government from putting immigration-related conditions on grants.
But the appeals court ruled that it “cannot agree that the federal government must be enjoined from imposing the challenged conditions on the federal grants here at issue.”
“The appeals court ruling pertained to the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant, named after the NYPD officer killed in 1988 in Queens, that is handed out to local governments to assist with law enforcement.”
It’s about time these Sanctuary Cities be punished for harboring criminals. Just look at what happened in Chicago. The local law enforcement released a repeat offender instead of holding him for ICE and what did he do with his newfound freedom? He raped a toddler. Now every case may not be as extreme but still why risk American citizens for criminals? These Dems have their priorities all out of whack.

Great idea 💡
Our President is doing the right thing…again. Anyone with a sound mind must agree that unvetted pedophile rapists and murderers must not be allowed in this republic. In order to prevent the continuing carnage we must not allow blatant defiance of our laws.
note that: TUCSON,AZ IS A “sanctury city”, They have all the benefits of a sanctury city, but simply have not declared it. THIS A FACTUAL, ask them.
Finally From the “FORMER LIBERAL 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals” comes a ruling which makes sense! Hopefully the first of many more to follow. While those clumsy PARTISANS in Congress were impeaching him, this is what the President was doing to them and for us…..220 new Appellate and higher Court Judges and Justices were appointed while the Dems tried , in vain, to get rid of the “SWAMP DRAINER IN CHIEF”! The “SWAMP” doesn’t want to be drained so it’s going to fight for it’s life against whomever tries to stop it’s evil games. What’s next for President Trump? we don’t know yet but we do know there will be more of the same because they won’t give up…..they can’t give up…..if they do, they lose big time……they lose their money, their fame, their popularity (no more cameras chasing them around the halls of congress) and maybe even their freedom (some of them could go to jail)! KEEP THAT DRAIN OPEN MR. PRESIDENT !
Great step in the right direction. Now, how about arresting the law-breakers? These people are NOT above the law. If I provided criminals food, clothing and shelter in my home, you can bet your bottom dollar that I’d have been immediately arrested and my property would have probably been seized. It’s way past time to show these a-holes that they are ruled by the same laws as the rest of the Citizens in this Country.
