WINNING THE WAR ON WAGES:
Police union warns Trump 'sanctuary city' cuts could risk safety (Julia Edwards Ainsley, 3/30/17, Reuters)
In a move that concerned the Fraternal Order of Police, one of Trump's biggest supporters in the 2016 election campaign, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Monday that the Justice Department would restrict grants to jurisdictions that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities. [...]The Justice Department plans to restrict sanctuary cities from using grants from the department's Office of Justice Programs and Community Oriented Policing Services, both of which send grant money to local and state police departments.Pasco said the union does not support the policies of sanctuary cities, but its executives are concerned that cuts in funding could hurt police departments in those areas.
Those cities can drive crime rates down even further by admitting more illegals.
