As President Trump's mass deportation operation continues to deliver results across America, Democrat-controlled cities are digging in their heels and REFUSING to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement – even after the Minneapolis wake-up call that shocked the nation.
Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York warned that Democrats will pull out all the stops to protect their lawless sanctuary city policies, no matter the cost to American communities.
"It's pretty likely from everything we've seen that Democrats are going to do everything they can to stop this bill that would basically outlaw sanctuary cities," York told Fox Business's Kudlow Friday, referring to legislation that would cut federal funding to jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with ICE.
But here's what York and the establishment media won't tell you: This isn't about compassion – it's about POWER. Democrat mayors and governors know that sanctuary policies keep them in office by maintaining their imported voter base, even if it means American citizens pay the price in crime, drugs, and economic devastation.
The Minneapolis Reality Check
The recent enforcement actions in Minneapolis sent shockwaves through the radical left establishment. When ICE agents successfully removed dangerous criminals who had been PROTECTED by local sanctuary policies, it exposed the deadly consequences of Democrat obstruction for all Americans to see.
Yet instead of learning from this wake-up call, blue city mayors are doubling down on the same failed policies that have turned once-great American cities into crime-ridden sanctuaries for foreign criminals.
"These Democrat politicians would rather protect illegal aliens than protect their own constituents – that tells you everything you need to know about their priorities."
President Trump ran on the promise to END sanctuary city madness, and the American people gave him a decisive mandate to do exactly that. Now it's time for Congress to pass legislation with TEETH that forces these rogue jurisdictions to follow federal law or lose every penny of federal funding.
The question every patriotic American should be asking: How long will we allow Democrat politicians to put foreign criminals before American families?
