President Trump continued his rant about sanctuary cities on Saturday night, stating California is well known for its ‘poor management’ and ‘high taxes.’
Trump took to his Twitter on Saturday night to blast the Golden State as he continued his diatribe against sanctuary cities.
‘Just out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities,’ Trump claimed.
‘We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!
Earlier, Trump lashed out at The New York Times over a report which claimed that last week he pressured the new acting head of Homeland Security to close the U.S.-Mexico border to migrants even though he said he would delay the move for a year.
The president also took aim in his tweetstorm at the mayor of Oakland and sanctuary cities in the wake of other reports which claimed the administration was considering relocating ICE detainees in Democratic-run towns.
Trump tweeted on Saturday: ‘The New York Times Sanctuary Cities/Immigration story today was knowingly wrong on almost every fact.
‘They never call to check for truth. Their sources often don’t even exist, a fraud.
‘They will lie & cheat anyway possible to make me look bad. In 6 years they will be gone……..’
