Miami-Dade Dropping Sanctuary Status Is 'Harbinger' of What's to Come
Miami-Dade County commissioners voted 9-3 Friday in favor of upholding Mayor Carlos Gimenez's order to drop the county's status as a sanctuary city.
Miami-Dade is the only U.S. county where more than half the population is foreign-born. As one of his core campaign promises, President Donald Trump vowed to eliminate federal funding to these so-called sanctuary cities.
Judge Alex Ferrer was a guest Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend" discussing this vote.
Ferrer said Miami did not want to lose its federal funding and he thinks more cities will follow suit.
"It's a harbinger of what's gonna happen across the country as cities are denied the money that they depend on for their budgets and for their special projects," said Ferrer, a former Miami-Dade County circuit judge.
He said Trump plays a direct role in this situation since he is the one that started the change.
"Like him or not, he is living up to his campaign promises," Ferrer said
