Marjorie Taylor Greene laid out her plans for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which include taking on so-called Sanctuary States and Cities.
The Georgia Congresswoman and fierce Trump ally will soon have a new powerful job assisting the Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy-led department.
‘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 told Fox News.
Trump has promised to declare a national emergency and use the military to deport millions of illegal immigrants from America.
Mayors of cities like Boston and Denver have promised to defy the order which will likely get them a front row seat with Greene.
Greene cited work by those in favor of safe haven for illegal migrants in the 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ing of 22-year-old Laken Riley, who was 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed by Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan national here illegally.
Ibarra was granted a ‘humanitarian flight’ provided by New York officials to get him to Atlanta in September 2023, just months before he brutally murdered Riley.
As previously reported by DailyMail.com, New York City officials have offered plane tickets to migrants who ask for them in order to mitigate the migrant crisis in the Big Apple. Mayor Eric Adams has, since the election, said he’ll work with Trump on the migrant crisis.
Greene also reiterated her plan to make use of federal buildings that are wasting taxpayer dollars because the employees who typically filled it up work remotely.
Musk and Ramaswamy announced their plans in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Thursday to force federal workers to return to the office in order to end the work-from-home culture that settled into the federal government during the coronavirus pandemic.
DOGE, the pair wrote, would also seek to reduce cost savings by cutting the over $500 billion in spending from the executive branch that was not specifically authorized by Congress.
