'AG Pam Bondi uses her first day in office to ban federal funds from
heading to 'Sanctuary Cities‘'

'Hours after she was sworn in, Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the
Justice Department to pause all federal funding for sanctuary cities,
according to a report.
Among several directives issued Wednesday, Bondi charged the DOJ with identifying and evaluating funding agreements with nongovernmental organizations that provide support to undocumented immigrants, Fox News
Digital first reported.
She also tasked the department with investigating instances of sanctuary jurisdictions obstructing law enforcement and “directing they be
prosecuted, when necessary,” the outlet wrote.
Several offices within the Justice Department provided $1.56 billion in
grants to sanctuary cities in 2023, according to the think tank Center
for Immigration Studies.
Last month, the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, a nonprofit,
warned how slashed funds could endanger sanctuary jurisdictions...'
'Cutting this funding source “could disrupt critical programs funded by federal dollars, including public safety initiatives, disaster relief,
housing support, and healthcare services. These cuts are not just an
attack on immigrants—they are an assault on the well-being of every
resident in these cities,” the nonprofit said in a statement.
On President Donald Trump’s first day in office, he signed an executive
order directing the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland
Security “to the maximum extent possible under law, evaluate and
undertake any lawful actions to ensure that so-called ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions, which seek to interfere with the lawful exercise of
Federal law enforcement operations, do not receive access to Federal
funds.”
Trump has also promised mass deportations. He has already ordered more
than 1,500 troops to the southern border as part of his immigration
crackdown.
Across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has made more
than 8,000 arrests of migrants. On February 1 alone, the agency made 864 arrests.

Long before Bondi’s directive, mayors across the country have stood up
to Trump’s planned mass deportations.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson told the Washington Post in November that
the sanctuary city planned to take on any threats to its funding. He
added: “There will not be any cooperation” with deportations.'
