Speaker Johnson tells NYC to axe sanctuary city status in return for migrant funding: 'Unconscionable'
Fox News
House Speaker Mike Johnson told The New York Post that New York City needed to do away with its sanctuary city status if it wanted federal funding for the migrant crisis.
"The idea that you would maintain a sanctuary city status and then cry out to the federal government for assistance in what you’ve done is, to me, unconscionable," Johnson told the Post. "I’m certain that will be one of our proposals, and it should." Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on Twitter at @brandon_cg.
Johnson's comments come following a request from the Biden administration for $1.4 billion in funding for state and local governments across the country to fund the care of migrants released into the U.S.
