President Donald Trump made a bold statement at the Detroit Economic Club, declaring that his administration will stop federal aid payments to sanctuary cities due to their sanctuary policies. He emphasized the need to put an end to tolerating their lawbreaking behavior. These cities and states that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement are only fueling fraud and crime, according to the president.
Starting February 1, sanctuary cities will no longer receive federal funding, as they prioritize protecting criminals over American citizens. President Trump highlighted the negative impact of sanctuary policies, stating that they breed fraud and crime. He specifically called out Minnesota and Governor Walz for their failure to address these issues.
In a strong message on Truth Social, the president reiterated his stance on cutting off funding to sanctuary cities, emphasizing that they must pay for their own mistakes. He urged states to take responsibility for the criminality they harbor, rather than relying on taxpayer subsidies. It is time to make America great again by holding sanctuary jurisdictions accountable for their actions. Join the fight against crime and violence by supporting this initiative.
