The admin isn’t footing bills—it’s fabricating crises to foot cities with lawsuits. Sanctuary policies didn’t spark riots; ICE raids did. Now Trump’s DOJ sues LA for daring to protect families from his deportation quotas while slashing their infrastructure funds.  

Federal court injunctions since April prove the admin’s funding threats are illegal extortion. Yet they persist: stripping SBA offices from NYC/Chicago, blocking CDBG grants, deploying Marines to escalate tensions. Every punitive bill (HR 2931, Langworthy’s “Stop Sanctuary” act) weaponizes dollars to crush local autonomy. When mayors warn this makes communities *less* safe, Trump sends Todd Blanche to sue them.  

This isn’t governance—it’s vengeance against cities refusing to be ICE’s militia.
