The quiet review ordered by the Trump administration is anything but routine. By forcing a dollar\u2011by\u2011dollar accounting of federal funds in sanctuary-minded states, Washington is reversing decades of trust\u2011first politics.

That shift terrifies officials who built careers expanding programs while resisting oversight, especially where immigration, social services, and law enforcement intersect.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the opening shot of a financial reckoning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
