Okay, NOW she's done it

President Donald Trump repeatedly promised to stop giving federal money to cities that refuse to cooperate with U.S. agencies trying to enforce immigration law.

But his embattled homeland security secretary recently awarded nearly $1.7 billion in grants, some related to immigration, to states and localities across the nation, including so-called sanctuary cities, according to three people with knowledge of the grants.

Kirstjen Nielsen authorized the grants despite objections of her top staff — a decision that has angered supporters who trusted Trump to make good on his campaign pledge.

The decision to include sanctuary cities in the current round of funding was made in the days leading up to the awarding of the grants after a discussion within the department that ended with Nielsen deciding to include the jurisdictions, according to the three people, two of whom used to work at the department and remain in close contact with employees.

Those assholes Zinke, Pruitt, et al., who spend taxpayer money on themselves are fine, but Nielsen won't be around much longer.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
