Sec. Sean Duffy: Sanctuary Cities Won’t Get ‘a Red Cent’ to Repair Infrastructure Damaged by RiotersHannah Knudsen 16 Jun 2025
“Rogue state actors” will forfeit their Department of Transportation (DOT) funding if they do not comply with federal immigration enforcement efforts, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on Monday.
“The @USDOT will NOT fund rogue state actors who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement,” Duffy said, issuing a more specific warning to the cities that are allowing rioters to destroy their infrastructure.
“And to cities that stand by while rioters destroy transportation infrastructure — don’t expect a red cent from DOT, either. Follow the law, or forfeit the funding,” he warned.

Duffy’s pointed warning follows President Donald Trump upping the ante on Sunday by ordering the expansion of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions in urban areas.
“Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People,” Trump said.
