Latest Updates MTG Says ‘Sanctuary’ Cities, States Should Justify Receiving Federal Tax Dollars

Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene, who is set to head a new House subcommittee on government efficiency, said on Sunday that “sanctuary” cities and states that provide safe havens for illegal immigrants by refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorities should have to justify continuing to receive federal tax dollars.

The Georgia Republican, recently appointed to lead a subcommittee collaborating with the Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), outlined her plans to reduce government spending during an appearance on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo.

Greene said one area she wants to focus on is the Biden-Harris-inspired border and drug-smuggling 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.Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene highlighted the tragic case 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 of her murder. Ibarra had been granted a “humanitarian flight” from New York City to Atlanta in September 2023.

Greene outlined several additional areas that may face cuts under the subcommittee’s plan to reduce government spending.

“The way to do that is to cut programs, contracts, employees, grant programs, you name it, that are failing the American people and not serving the American people’s interests,” Greene said, according to Fox.

The congresswoman stated that government-funded media programs like NPR, which she claimed “spread nothing but Democrat propaganda,” will be examined closely by the subcommittee. She also stated that it will explore current government contracts and programs to determine if they still “make sense” or if “their purpose has expired.”
