From the Long Beach Press Telegram:
The Long Beach and Los Angeles ports won’t have to worry about U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ threat to pull billions of dollars worth of federal grants from local and state governments that support sanctuary cities.
That’s because even though they are departments of cities at odds with the White House on immigration, the ports don’t depend on the Justice Department that Sessions heads to fund major projects at the waterfront.
But they do rely on other federal agencies to support millions of dollars in infrastructure and security efforts every year and are watching these developments warily.
Trump has also proposed a 31 percent budget reduction to the EPA, which could curb local port funding.
