Donald Trump is considering withholding federal police grants from local law enforcement that refuse to participate in mass deportations if re-elected, as reported by NBC News. The Justice Department grants, known as the Byrne JAG grant program, are described as the leading source of federal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions.
During Trump’s first term, several states sued after Byrne JAG grants were cut off to sanctuary cities, and Trump officials believe they can win legal challenges in the Supreme Court.
