Through a recent executive order and, on Sunday in an interview with Fox's Bill O'Reilly, Trump threatened to "defund" so-called sanctuary cities by taking away their federal grants. Among the sanctuary cities are New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, as well as smaller jurisdictions like Takoma Park, Maryland, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. "If they're going to have sanctuary cities, we may have to do that. But many other sanctuary cities are vowing to fight. The order decrees that sanctuary jurisdictions "are not eligible to receive federal grants, except as deemed necessary for law enforcement purposes."
