Will Illinois be cut from Federal Funding by sanctuary status

The Governor has spoken and Illinois will not detain nor help ICE regarding illegal immigrants. Yesterday however the Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the Department of Justice (DOJ) could withhold funding from cities and states that refuse to cooperate with the Trump administration's crackdown on undocumented immigrants. Looks like the Democrat party team line that wants to raise taxes might have to ask for even more if Trump cuts funding. Politically it wouldn't hurt Trump because Illinois votes with the D button meaning he wont lose any electoral votes on the matter come next election. There is an old saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you" and at the moment it looks like the fine Democrats of Illinois did just that. Another day in Illinois...
