If they do not want to comply with federal law then there should be no federal money (really, Los Federales shouldn’t be funding cities to start with, but, we are where we are)
‘Tough decisions’ in store for ‘sanctuary’ cities after Bondi turns off federal funding spigot
With Attorney General Pam Bondi ordering a pause on federal funds for so-called “sanctuary cities,” Fox News Digital asked leaders of both parties in states likely to be affected their thoughts, and whether they believe their cities can handle the dearth of funding.
Bondi also directed the DOJ probe instances of jurisdictions that are impeding law enforcement, and that they be prosecuted when necessary.
In Pennsylvania, at least two major cities have enacted sanctuary policies, while leaders in a third have signaled opposition to working with federal immigration authorities. (big snip)
State Sen. Jarrett Coleman, R-Allentown, said Bondi is totally within her rights to give cities this ultimatum.
“I can’t imagine that losing that funding would be easy to manage for Philadelphia and imagine that they’re going to have some tough decisions to make,” said Coleman, who chairs the state’s panel on government operations.
It would be so seriously easy for these Democrat run cities to simply call ICE when they arrest someone for a crime. What could it hurt? They could even play a game when they only call for the felony and high level misdemeanor ones, the violent ones, and conveniently forget for ones with things like shoplifting. But, no, they want to protect
(ICE) Mr. Romero-Bisos was initially arrested October 17, 2019, for the criminal offenses of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse by forcible compulsion, unlawful contact with a minor/sex offense, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault without consent, sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child, corruption of minors, indecent assault of a person less than 13 years old, reckless endangerment of another person and harassment. Also on October 17, 2019, the Philadelphia Police department charged Mr. Romero-Bisos in a second scheme of criminal conduct with unlawful restraint with serious bodily injury, indecent assault without consent, simple assault and harassment.
ICE logged a detainer, and the Philly police still let this guy go. A rapist who has contact with a minor. Do they really want to die on this hill? Apparently, they do in Democrat cities

But, what about these?
Federal agents take Coral Springs undocumented migrant into custody with guns drawn
Around a dozen Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents dressed in camouflage, with rifles, guns and shields, took a Coral Springs man into custody on Wednesday.
His son was visibly in distress as Lopez followed his attorney’s advice and stayed inside.
But Wednesday, Lopez’s daughter Camilla Lopez said he was shaking.
“They sounded mad,” she said. “They were yelling. I saw my dad, he was in fear.”
Camilla Lopez said her dad opened the door, and neighbors were recording as agents took him into custody.
Oh, that was so mean! Which is exactly the way the liberal media wants to portray it. They even mention at the end that he has “no criminal election.”
We spoke to Dante Lopez earlier this week. He told Local 10 News how he was once deported after his visa expired and re-entered the U.S. illegally after his life was threatened by guerrilla warfare in his native Peru.
That makes him a felon. Under 8 U.S. Code § 1326, it’s a federal crime, a felony, for which a person can be sentenced for a minimum of 2 years in jail. It’s not the fault of ICE, Trump, or the federal government: it’s the fault of Dante Lopez, and maybe his daughter will understand consequences of one’s action at a future date.
WOW! Did we dodge a bullet or what! FCC/CBS releases unedited video of controversial ‘60 Minutes’ interview w/ Kamala Harris

Once again, the Leftist legacy media was all in on helping their obviously inferior candidate stay in the race. They were fully prepared to cover for her just like they did for senile pedo-Joe.
Everything they do, the Democrats will just take it to a democratic judge who will declare it unconstitutional and force the DOJ to litigate every action they take. In the meantime, the multi-headed hydra of the federal government will continue its feeding frenzy on taxpayer money, and bonds printed and bought by the fed with printed money.
Wah, wah, wah scream the Democrats as it is brought to light that USAID sent 50 million dollars to the WUHAN LAB to study COVID. So now we know it is the Democrats who were willing to infect the entire world with a virus to defeat ORANGE MAN BAD.
Evil has one name. Democrats.
Our esteemed host began:
This has been an almost entirely unreported scandal since the Nixon Administration and “revenue sharing”. The vast majority of cities and states have balanced budget requirements, and want to spend far, far more than their tax revenues. So, what happens? The Feds fund some of their projects, meaning that the cities and states have balanced budgets, but their deficit spending is passed on to Federal ledgers. It’s a great deal for states and cities, but it has helped explode the federal budget deficit.
Local and state politicians don’t have to go to their constituents with tax increases, and they get to overspend. Meanwhile, federal politicians, representing much larger constituents, tend to have much safer seats, and that’s how we get to where we are today.
If the Dems would have handed over all the really bad illegals maybe illegal immigration would not have been an issue in this election. But Dems gotta be facists.
