Barr Declares NYC, Seattle, Portland 'Anarchist’ Cities and Threatens Funding Cuts
The Justice Department has declared that New York, Seattle, and Portland are “anarchist” jurisdictions and threatened them with a loss of federal funding, another escalation in the Trump administration’s war on cities with Democrat mayors that saw huge protests against police brutality this summer.
New York among three 'anarchist' cities named by White House to lose funds
The Trump administration has named three cities that are slated to lose federal funding after the White House accused them of tolerating crime.
New York City, Portland and Seattle are on the list of "anarchist cities" that Trump officials say have failed to stem crime linked to a summer of protests.
It follows a memo from Mr Trump earlier this month, threatening the move.
The mayors of the cities have promised to sue, calling Mr Trump's move a political stunt.
