President-elect Donald Trump's advisors are drawing up plans to strip federal funding from cities that do not comply with the administration's deportation policies, three sources familiar with the conversations told The Washington Post.
Many of the president-elect's allies have also discussed the idea publicly, with billionaire entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, the co-leader of Trump's "Department of Government Efficiency" emerging as a chief advocate. He and Elon Musk have been charged by Trump with slashing federal spending across all departments, and they might accomplish some of that goal by blocking federal money from being dispersed in particular jurisdictions.
