Sanctuary States, Cities Should Explain to Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Why They Deserve Federal Money; Marjorie Taylor Greene Warns DOGE Subcommittee May Defund Sanctuary Cities

Sanctuary states, cities should explain to DOGE why they deserve federal money: MTG

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Sunday said leaders of sanctuary states and cities should have to explain why they deserve federal dollars to a new congressional subcommittee bent on cutting government waste.

Greene, who was tapped to lead a subcommittee working with the Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), laid out how she hopes to cut government spending during an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

One area Greene said she wants the subcommittee to investigate is tied to the immigration crisis.

“I’d like to talk to the governors of sanctuary states and the mayors of sanctuary cities and have them come before our committee and explain why they deserve federal dollars if they’re going to harbor illegal criminal aliens in their states and their cities,” she said.

Greene specifically noted the death of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was brutally murdered while jogging on the University of Georgia campus in Athens in February. Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant, was convicted in her murder. Ibarra had been granted a “humanitarian flight” from New York City to Atlanta in September 2023.

Greene also laid out a slew of other areas that could face the chopping block under the subcommittee’s plan to cut government spending. —>READ MORE HERE

Marjorie Taylor Greene Warns DOGE Subcommittee May Defund Sanctuary Cities:

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, said on Sunday that, as the incoming chair of a House Oversight subcommittee that is set to work with the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), sanctuary states and cities could lose their funding.

Earlier this week, Representative James Comer, a Kentucky Republican and chair of the House Oversight Committee, announced that Greene would head the new subcommittee, which will be named the Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee.

In that role, Greene is expected to work closely with billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who were selected by Trump to lead DOGE to “eliminate government waste.”

Greene, a vocal Trump ally, who pushes for a restrictive immigration policy, discussed her priorities as the incoming chair during an appearance on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.

When host Bartiromo asked where she sees the most government waste, Greene responded, “It’s all over—every single government department, program, grant program, contracts, it is everywhere.”

The subcommittee is expected to investigate wasteful spending, examine ways to reorganize federal agencies to improve efficiency and identify solutions to eliminate bureaucratic red tape.

Greene said: “I’d like to talk to the governors of sanctuary states and the mayors of sanctuary cities and have them come before our committee and explain why they deserve federal dollars if they’re going to harbor illegal criminal aliens in their states and their cities.”

Newsweek has reached out to several governors of sanctuary states, including New York, Vermont, Oregon, and Colorado as well as the New York ACLU for comment via email on Sunday. —>READ MORE HERE
