WNYC News | Jan 26, 2017

President Donald Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding for so-called "sanctuary cities" that don't cooperate with immigration officials any more than they absolutely have to.

We asked listeners to share their thoughts about how this executive order could impact New York, Newark, and other local sanctuary cities. Hear a mix of concern, agreement, and suggestions for how to move forward.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
