Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has put sanctuary cities in the state on notice, promising to end their state funding if they do not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Youngkin made the announcement on Fox, where he spoke of legislation he put into motion last week that will require all local law enforcement to work with ICE and federal authorities concerning the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants.

"Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin: “I’m going to take your funding away here in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are not a sanctuary state.”"

After citing recent violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants in Virginia, he stated, “If you don't cooperate with ICE when there's a detainer in place, I'm going to go to work and take your funding away in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are not a sanctuary state. We will not, we will no longer allow this to happen, and we're going to work together to make sure that we keep Virginians safe."

Thank you very much and God bless you.

This is how you do it! And Trump can do the same for governors who declare their states a "sanctuary state". Stop the federal dollars from flowing and see how quickly they change their tune.
