WH: Crime-Ridden Sanctuary City of Chicago Can’t Have It Both Ways - No Federal Funds for Situation They Created
(CNSNews.com) - When asked whether President Donald Trump would still cut off law enforcement funds to the city of Chicago because it’s a sanctuary city even though it could hamper police from fighting violent crime, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said sanctuary cities can’t have it both ways - refusing to cooperate with federal immigration officials and still expecting to get law enforcement grants to handle a situation they created.
“You can't be a sanctuary city and at the same time seem to pretend or express concern about law enforcement or ask for more money when probably a number of the funds that you're using in the first place are going to law enforcement to handle the situation that you’ve created for yourself,” Spicer said.

Talk is cheap.
I hope that the administration sticks to their guns on this one.
