A breaking story!
From RedState:
Newly-confirmed Attorney General Pam Bondi announced as one of her first acts that the Department of Justice is enacting a ban on federal funding to sanctuary jurisdictions. This includes San Diego County, where its Board of Supervisorsvoted to become a “Super Sanctuary” county, despite pleas from its citizens to control the illegal invasion and the subsequent crime and destruction that comes along with it.”
Meanwhile, also from RedState:
“Terra Lawson-Remer, acting chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, said that the county’s policy would not change in response to Bondi’s directive.
‘We are not going to be participating in any type of effort around mass deportations,’ Lawson-Remer told CBS 8. ‘I’m very clear that it is a terrible waste of public resources in addition to it being frankly unconscionable.’”
UC San Diego Political Science Professor Thad Kousser highlighted the potential impact of Bondi’s directive, saying, “What this means if sanctuary cities are denied funds if we don’t have judges step in and have a temporary restraining order, that could block more than a billion dollars across the country in funds that have nothing to do with immigration.”
Those of you who are familiar with my views on hyphenated female last names certainly know whose side I am on.
I guess we’ll see what Ms Hyphenated last name thinks is
unconscionable when federal funds start to be withheld from San Diego County.
