New York Metropolis Mayor Bill de Blasio plans to hold his every day press briefing on Thursday after President Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funding to “lawless” cities, along with New York Metropolis.
On Wednesday, Trump singed a memo that instructs the U.S. Lawyer Regular to publicly decide a listing of states and native jurisdictions that “have permitted violence and the destruction of property to persist and have refused to undertake inexpensive measures to counteract” the actions.
The memo lists a number of Democrat-led cities the place violence and destruction has “continued unabated,” along with New York, Seattle, Portland and Washington D.C.
“My Administration will not allow Federal tax {{dollars}} to fund cities that allow themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones,” the memo says.
In a tweet on Wednesday night time, de Blasio known as the memo “unconstitutional” and said city would take the president to courtroom docket. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Trump has “actively been attempting to kill New York Metropolis ever since he’s been elected” and said the president considers himself to be “a king.”
