WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF PRESIDENT TRUMP WITHHOLDS FEDERAL FUNDS FROM SANTA FE OVER ITS IMMIGRANT-FRIENDLY POLICIES? THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS THE CITY IS STARTING TO TAKE STEPS TO DEAL WITH THAT POSSIBILITY. TRUMP HAS SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THREATENING TO WITHHOLD FUNDS FROM CITIES THAT DON’T COOPERATE WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAWS.
CITY ATTORNEY KELLEY BRENNAN SAYS SHE PLANS TO RESEARCH LEGAL STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH THE ORDER.
