The Trump administration has stripped California of $160 million in federal funding after the state refused to revoke commercial driver’s licenses issued to thousands of foreign nationals whose legal status could not be verified. The move is a direct rebuke of California’s sanctuary-style policies and a wake-up call to states that put political ideology above federal law and public safety.
After a 76-day shutdown, Congress has reopened most of the Department of Homeland Security. But key immigration enforcement agencies — ICE and Customs and Border Protection — were left out of the main funding bill, leaving Republicans to pursue a separate path to secure the border and keep America safe.
