Campaign Action The national police union that enthusiastically endorsed Donald Trump during the presidential election has now warned him that “he could put public safety at risk if he intends to cut federal grants to so-called sanctuary cities.” So much for being the “law and order” candidate: The executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, Jim Pasco, told Reuters after a White House meeting between the president and police union leaders on Tuesday that the move to restrict grants from sanctuary cities could hurt police departments. His comments come after Attorney General Jeff Sessions earlier this week announced state and local governments seeking Justice Department grants must certify they are not sanctuary cities to receive money. The Justice Department may not allow sanctuary cities to use grants from its Office of Justice Programs and Community Oriented Policing Services, which give money to local and state police departments. This isn’t the first time the union leader has warned the regime about the consequences of starving police departments of grants, either. “Pasco told Reuters he met with Sessions last month and warned him the police union would not support restrictions on funding to police.” But Trump and Sessions went ahead and doubled-down on the threats anyway.
