Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has issued a warning to so-called sanctuary cities, stating that they are at risk of losing government funding now that Washington is under unified Republican control. Greene, who is set to lead the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, outlined her plans to cut funding for cities and states that restrict local government cooperation with immigration enforcement.
In an interview on Fox News' 'Sunday Morning Futures,' Greene emphasized her intention to target sanctuary cities, stating, 'We're coming after their money, and they don't deserve it.' She further expressed her belief that the federal government has been misusing taxpayers' money and the trust of the American people.
The new subcommittee, which will work closely with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in the upcoming Trump administration, aims to scrutinize government programs and hold federal agency leaders accountable for their funding requests. Greene specifically mentioned NPR, federal grant programs, and the Pentagon as potential targets for budget cuts.
Under Greene's leadership, the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency will focus on ensuring that taxpayer dollars are allocated efficiently and effectively. By challenging sanctuary cities and other entities that limit cooperation with immigration enforcement, Greene aims to redirect funding to areas that align with the priorities of the Republican-controlled government.
