Trump Would Tie Aid to Action on Sanctuary Cities

President Trump indicated he wouldn’t allow federal aid for states facing budget deficits from the coronavirus outbreak unless they take action against “sanctuary cities” — municipalities that prevent their police from cooperating with immigration authorities, Bloomberg reports.

Said Trump: “We would want certain things including sanctuary city adjustments, because we have so many people in sanctuary cities. What’s happening is people are being protected that shouldn’t be protected and a lot of bad things are happening with sanctuary cities.”
