The anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles last week have motivated lawmakers to draft legislation to withhold federal funding from cities that supported and defended rioters.
“It’s unfortunate that we have to propose legislation like this, but this is to codify the memorandum of President Trump,” Rep. Tony Wied, R-Wis., said on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show.
Wied is referring to legislation titled the SAFE Cities Act which ensures that taxpayer money goes to cities that follow the law and not to cities that protect rioters, ignore unrest and reject federal assistance.
“This is an act that I’m getting a lot of momentum on right now,” Wied said. “People want law and order and the governor and the mayor need to actually do what’s right for the constituents and protect law and order.”
