Identification is Response to Presidential Memorandum Reviewing Federal Funding to State and Local Governments that are Permitting Anarchy, Violence, and Destruction in American Cities

The U.S. Department of Justice today identified the following three jurisdictions that have permitted violence and destruction of property to persist and have refused to undertake reasonable measures to counteract criminal activities: New York City; Portland, Oregon; and Seattle, Washington. The Department of Justice is continuing to work to identify jurisdictions that meet the criteria set out in the President’s Memorandum and will periodically update the list of selected jurisdictions as required therein.
The list was published on DOJ’s website today in response to President Trump’s memorandum of September 2, 2020, entitled “Memorandum on Reviewing Funding to State and Local Government Recipients That Are Permitting Anarchy, Violence, and Destruction in American Cities.”

what type of psycho babble is this? "anarchist jurisdictions." I have issue with using terms that mean nothing. This is up their with "assault weapon."

 

[holdover]

Seems clear to me.

Anarchist :

1: a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power
2: a person who believes in, advocates, or promotes anarchism or anarchyespecially : one who uses violent means to overthrow the established order


Definition of jurisdiction

1: the power, right, or authority to interpret and apply the lawa matter that falls within the court's jurisdiction
2a: the authority of a sovereign power to govern or legislate
b: the power or right to exercise authority : CONTROL
3: the limits or territory within which authority may be exercised


The DOJ is saying they have lost control of the law in certain citys .

 

[Mosinitis]

The cities are going to sue and win in courts, but it is still a good move.

 

[holdover]

Sue the feds?

 

[spat]

Wonder what the left would say if the right put together a citizen militia organized for the express purpose of re-establishing order once they "defund the police".

They can point out that it's illegal vigilantism, and we can say "what are you going to do, arrest them ? With your disbanded police department ?"

 

[Dr. Evil]

Yet Comrade DeBlasio had the balls to put this all on Trump when questioned about this.

 

[Phazer]

Some will say, "Well...depriving those jurisdictions of federal funds will just make things worse for those who cannot afford to leave."

I say, "Fine! Let's use the funds no longer being given to the states for 'relocation grants' to help those less able to afford to move."

 

[GOPerfect]

This is very dangerous. Very dangerous indeed. We should not be celebrating this. We should be scared about these kinds of actions....

What is next?

 

[Mosinitis]

Sue the feds?

Yes

 

[holdover]

For not giving them money? No way.

Why is this dangerous?

 

[redtail]

Yes, the ny ag said as much today, and then called thePOTUS racist.

If nothing else this puts the Commie Mayors and Gov under the microscope for allowing if not fully endorsing the death and destruction.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Militia? Don't you mean counter-anarchist? Vigilantes? How about undocumented law enforcement?

New York attorney general readies lawsuit after Trump's DOJ labels NYC 'anarchist jurisdiction,' threatening federal funds

Earlier, Gov. Andrew Cuomo vowed to challenge the Trump administration in court if it followed through on its threat to cut off funds to NYC.

There are a bunch of other NY lawsuits against the feds as well. It's not unheard of.

 

[GOPerfect]

Why is this dangerous?

Think of the next reason for the Feds to hold up funding. And than the next reason after that. Right now, some people are fine with this, what happens when a Libtards president does the same thing.

The libs are already waging a financial war against conservatives. Remember when they started sending out threatening letters in NY to banks regarding allowing purchases of firearms?

State urges banks, insurers to stop doing business with gun industry

It's not the same as defunding a city federally, but if they're going to block our, legal, way of life -- then fuck it.

The feds shouldn't be funding localities at all.

Cut it all off.

The Feds can stop taking in so much in taxes, then the localities can take in more without changing the taxpayers liability at all.

The feds should not be allowed to take crap loads of tax money from locals, then give it back with strings attached.

The whole point of that us an end run around the constitution. They want to mandate things they don’t have the authority to mandate, so they extort localities into doing it for them.

 

[Cooolone]

Where does the mentality that the local municipalities can sue the Federal Gov't for activities which happen in the local jurisdiction? Sorry, but this isn't possible... You can't have it both ways, telling the feds they don't have jurisdiction say, when releasing a criminal that the feds want on immigration violations, and then when SHTF that you can't handle, tell the feds to back off, but hey, where's my money so "we" can do what you were gonna do, but we didn't want you to do. Make sense? Because that's a lot of bullshit to me, and no, it won't work in Federal court! There is no mandate that the Federal Gov't pay for anything regarding policing and law enforcement of local municipalities, that's just ridiculous! Again, let alone when the Federal Gov't offered to help and was refused! Fuck them all! Drain the swamp!!!

Then declare the anarchists what they are terrorists and remove them.
