Sean Duffy to withhold transportation funds from cities with anti-ICE protests
https://www.rawstory.com/sean-duffy-withhold-dot-funding/
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday his department would withhold funding from cities where anti-ICE demonstrations were allowed to take place.
In a Monday post on X, Duffy responded to President Donald Trump's call for ICE agents to target cities led by Democrats.
"The @USDOT will NOT fund rogue state actors who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement," Duffy wrote. "And to cities that stand by while rioters destroy transportation infrastructure don't expect a red cent from DOT, either. Follow the law, or forfeit the funding."

OP
Exactly how it works when they say we don't get funding congress has already voted to allocate.

That would be incredibly dumb. Individuals and businesses who had their taxes intercepted and seized by California

If my governor stole taxes withheld by my employer instead of sending it to the US Treasury, there would be hell to pay

Everything is "legal" when the criminals and the law enforcement are the same people.

No, not legal. As long as the Republican congressman are cowering in the corner, they'll get away with it

Brilliant! Force the commuters to walk to work and while you're at it, put Whites Only seats on the buses.

The No Kings protests were not just about ICE but the media framed it that way.
