Bondi Cuts Off Sanctuary Cities: ‘No Funding for Lawlessness’

Here is the rewritten text without ads:

Newly appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered the Department of Justice (DOJ) to pull funding from sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This move is likely to spark a court battle between the Trump administration and major sanctuary cities like Chicago, Boston, and New York City.

Bondi’s memo directs the DOJ to pause federal grants to localities that don’t comply with ICE requests. She also called for an investigation into the funding of organizations that provide assistance to illegal migrants. Additionally, Bondi ordered the DOJ to identify contracts with organizations that provide support to illegal migrants and pause funding to such groups.

The Trump administration has warned that sanctuary cities are obstructing justice and impeding federal immigration operations, which threatens public safety and national security. This move is part of the administration’s broader crackdown on illegal immigration.

It’s worth noting that the concept of sanctuary cities is complex, and there is no official definition. However, it generally refers to cities that restrict local officials from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. The debate around sanctuary cities raises questions about the balance between federal authority and local autonomy, as well as humanitarian concerns.
