Trump Criticizes Democrat Policies in New York, Targeting ‘Sanctuaries’ for Migrants
President Donald Trump unveiled a plan to challenge New York’s policies, specifically targeting the state’s congestion pricing in Manhattan and its sanctuary laws for illegal migrants. Trump proposed using the federal Department of Transportation to push New York into abandoning the congestion pricing program, which charges tolls for driving into certain parts of Manhattan. The Department could impose significant penalties, including withholding millions of dollars in federal funding or even reopening the environmental review process that originally approved the toll under the Biden administration.
Additionally, Trump warned that the Justice Department would be scrutinizing New York’s sanctuary laws, which provide protections to illegal migrants, and taking action if deemed necessary. In his remarks to the New York Post, Trump also promised to take steps to remove bike lanes from the city and address the presence of criminal migrants on New York City streets. His statements signal a continued focus on the state’s immigration policies and urban planning initiatives, positioning them as key issues in his political agenda.
