Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland has terminated Donald Trump’s policy that allowed the federal government to withhold grant monies from sanctuary cities.

According to The Daily Wire:

President Joe Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, has terminated a Trump administration policy that allowed the federal government to withhold millions of dollars in grants to states that establish sanctuary cities and refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

Two weeks ago, Garland issued a memo ending Trump’s executive order. Acting head of the Office of Justice Programs Maureen Henneberg, who supervises the DOJ’s largest grant-making arm, wrote that grantees, including cities, counties and states, would not have to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in order to receive funding. She stated, according to Reuters, that staff should “pull down and revise all solicitations that describe requirements or priority consideration elements or criteria pertaining to immigration. … These solicitations will be reposted and grantees will be required to reapply.”

On its community-oriented policing page, the DOJ writes, “The Department informed grant recipients and applicants that they will continue receiving certain Department grants without making certifications. The Department will also cease giving priority consideration to grant applicants that accept conditions similar to those requirements,” The Daily Mail noted.

Soon after assuming the presidency in 2017, former President Trump stated, “We cannot faithfully execute the immigration laws of the United States if we exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement.”

A New York federal appeals court decision overturned a lower court ruling in February of 2020.

The AP reported:

The states and city sued the U.S. government after the Justice Department announced in 2017 that it would withhold grant money from cities and states until they gave federal immigration authorities access to jails and provide advance notice when someone in the country illegally is about to be released. Before the change, cities and states seeking grant money were required only to show they were not preventing local law enforcement from communicating with federal authorities about the immigration status of people who were detained.

ICE was able to successfully arrest illegals without being informed by sanctuary jurisdictions but it is unclear if the Biden administration will allow this workaround now.



        1. We have a two tiered system of law. Our Intelligence, FBI and CIA, are compromised and our legitimate law enforcement is in danger of being replaced by mobs of BLM/Antifa Enforcers who will hold the line between angry citizens and the Elite Leaders and Woked armed services of Socialist America. We will become Venezuela in two years of mob rule.

    1. That piece of sot will do much damage to America as AG. Every one that Biden chose are the worse of the worse. Biden and his corrupt administration should all be in prison.

    2. Biden’s AG is on a revenge trip because he didn’t get the vote for supreme court eight years ago. Garland is a far, far left ideologist who now holds the whip in his whip hand to punish all conservatives and Republicans within his range. He will wreak havoc on our leaders and our agenda.Notice he has passed over the Hunter Biden facts to address the Guilanni conspiracy. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

    3. if they get rid of ICE, then the American People will be forced to take up the job were Ice left off. Think about it Demorats.

  1. The AG just labeled himself as the newest anti-American SOB in the nation. Probably part of his little man’s complex.

  2. Let me tell you about Joe Biden. I think he is an old senile fool. Worst President EVER. And ……..he did not win the election. Everything I buy will be higher. People on SS do not stand a chance with him in the White House. Then when he can no longer read teleprompter, EVIL Kamala will take over. Might as well kiss your ass good bye! that is how I feel about Joe Biden!

    1. Look at the current chain of command! President, vice president, speaker of the house, president of the senate, secretary of state. With that line-up we are F*cked.

    2. Why is my comment waiting for approval? There is no obscene language or liberal lies in it. You people are getting as bad as all the other “Deep State” toadies.

  3. Biden is destroying America one day at a time! Welcome to the start of his radical socialist agenda! I miss Trump who cared about American’s!

    1. Wait till interest hits 21% as it did with Carter. Fed will not be able to hold it as they keep printing and giving away money. All Biden’s tax increases and energy policies will fall on the American consumer. Him and his family don’t have to worry though as they are now protected from their corruption.

      1. I remember Carter and the interest rates had reached 13%. There were for sale signs all over town but no one could afford a house. The interests continued to rise till Carter was out. I think Carter failed because of ignorance of how to govern. Biden isn’t ignorant, he is well versed on how the milk the country. The success of the Biden Crime Family during Joe’s forty five years in office is testament to that. They are all millionaires while Hunter and Joe have collected millions from Ukraine and China. Hunter is guilty of capitol crimes that would involve prison time and they are all spelled out in graphics on his lap top but no one in the Democratic party will touch it. Only a man so evil as this spawn of Joe Biden would write a memoir of his drug addicted life and call it “A Beautiful Thing.”. Only the liberal publishers would pay him 2 million dollars for the liars garbage while cancelling a conservative book by Josh Hawley. .

  4. Garland is a lackey, sycophant boot licker for Dementia Joe. He is nothing short of a “puppet” and it is the Democrats pulling his strings.

    1. He’s no puppet. Garland is a far left Ideologue intent on republican revenge for not making it to the supreme court. Don’t assume he’s dumb. Take it for granted he is nastyl.

  5. The “left” is totally out of control! I hope that you realize that Biden’s on “speed”.His heart won’t be able to take it much longer.”Why” do you “think” that this “jerk” wears dark sunglasses? It’s because his pupils are “pinpoint” & the sun hurts his eyes.Let’s face it, he’s an OLD man, being “USED” by his wife & the Dems.The ONLY “news” that I can “say” is AUSTRALIAN! “They” tell it like itI”IS” & don’t mince any words! The rest of the world “we” never hear any of it from since “USA” “news” is totally corrupt.! I, for one, want to KNOW about Biden’s physical & mental health! So “where’s” his medical “info”! ?? After 100 “days'” Trump would have been “mentally incompetent”. So WHERE is “Joes” “competency”? He can FaLL UP steps, barely remember ANYTHING, & he’s “O.K.” according to the Dems. HOW DUMB ARE WE?

  6. Well, guys, “we” are STUCK! For the next 4 yrs. ” We” are doomed, UNLESS a MIRACLE occurs! PRAY like “crazy” that these Catholic-in-name-only(CINO) “leaders “= Pelosi. Biden, who espouse abortion & selling “baby parts” will see their demise. BELIEVE me, these “people” are Catholic in name only.I love it. “WE” are supposed to PRAY for them. UGH! God does NOT want one soul lost. HOW “HARD” it is to pray for both of these “Catholics”.UGH!

  7. Garland needs to be immediately removed from office for violating the Constitution. Federal law regarding undocumented and criminal foriegn nationals calls for their transport back to where they came from or held for trial. States, cities and all localities can not have kaws that are less restrictive then federal law. Thus Garland has again violated the Constitution. His underlings in the DOJ are oath, honor and Constitutionally bound to remove him from office immediately or face removal themselves.

  8. The Biden administration must go. I’ve never seen or heard of such a ridiculous farce of a government, and true Americans will not allow this to continue.

  9. So now under Joe, the middle class will be paying those creepy cities to continue their anti-American rhetoric and activities, allowing illegals to live off the backs of hard working taxpayers. I think I got that right, didn’t I?

  10. Same as saying. Go ahead and break all the laws. We will Reward you with millions of dollars. So you can afford to pay for all the freebie’s you had promised your law breaking illegals? When is all this ever going to stoop? Hopefully, in 2022. When Americas has a chance to Vote Again. And Vote the people out of office that do not seem to Love America. Or even actual American Citizens. Hey, we have babies in America going hungry. What is wrong with these people? Wow. Come on 2022.

  11. I could say I would take this piece of s–t out and feed it to the sharks but I cant. This website wouldnt like it. What is wrong with our government this is treason. I want my country back.

  12. Anyone remember his nomination hearing? He mumbles as much as Biden. Couldn’t even decide about whether coming into the country illegally was a crime or not. But he knew it was a crime, he just kept playing dumb or God forbid he really is that dumb in order to stay on the same page as the Socialist/Democrat party.

  13. It was a good job that Mitch kept that turd Garland off the Supreme Court, imagine if he had got the seat now held by Gorsuch, thank you Mitch and President Trump.

  14. Funniest part of this acheivement is Trump’s Policy was never a policy. Garland is so pissed about the SCOTUS, he’s terminating shit that never ever happened. Great move “Judge Piss Ant.”
