leaked memo says

The Justice Department quietly repealed a Trump-era policy that withheld federal grants from sanctuary cities, according to a leaked memo obtained by Reuters.

The policy held back millions of dollars in grants from states, cities, and counties that totally oppose or would not fully comply with federal immigration authorities.

In the memo cited by Reuters, acting head of the Office of Justice Programs Maureen Henneberg said that areas that already received grants would no longer have to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to get the grants.

This includes a $250 million annual grant program for local law enforcement, Reuters reported.

1. Makes sense, it was a totally f***ed-up and wrong policy from the start

Only Congress should have the power to make a decision like this.
