(DCWatchdog.com) – In a massive shock to leftist-run sanctuary cities, the new U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has paused federal funding for them, putting pressure on local governments to align with federal priorities.

Bondi’s bold decision to suspend federal funding to sanctuary cities is shaking up the immigration landscape.
This action demonstrates a significant shift towards stronger immigration control, raising questions about the balance of power between federal and local jurisdictions.
Pam Bondi, recently confirmed as the U.S. Attorney General, wasted no time in implementing a hardline agenda on immigration.
On her first day, she directed the Department of Justice to suspend federal funds to sanctuary cities, which refuse to cooperate with immigration authorities.
The intent is clear: incentivize these cities to reconsider their sanctuary policies.
Her move touches on a broader issue involving state versus federal priorities.
Sanctuary cities argue they should set local enforcement policies, but the federal government insists on a uniform approach, particularly in immigration matters.
This funding freeze sends a strong message and may trigger legal challenges from cities reliant on this financial support for critical services, Breitbart News stresses in a report.
Bondi plans to work closely with the Department of Homeland Security to disrupt cartels and transnational criminal organizations.
Her expansive vision includes setting up a “Weaponization Working Group” to ensure that law enforcement activities are devoid of political bias, adhering strictly to the rule of law.
“The discretion afforded Justice Department attorneys with respect to those responsibilities does not include latitude to substitute their personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election,” Bondi declared, cited by The New York Post.
Sanctuary cities are now at the center of a heated national debate on immigration policy and state sovereignty.
Bondi’s actions align perfectly with President Trump’s long-standing campaign promise to defund cities that defy federal immigration orders.
Many conservatives view this as a fulfillment of a significant pledge to restore law and order.
While some local governments may push back against these measures, there is a larger movement towards federal and state cooperation on immigration enforcement.
This decision could pave the way for further federal interventions where local policies conflict with national immigration goals.
“Thank you, President Trump. I’ve known you for many, many years, and I will not let you down.” – Pam Bondi vowed.
The effects of this funding suspension will unfold as cities adjust their policies or face the fiscal consequences.
