Ah, CA, already planning on how to deal with trump:
Here's the idea:
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) – The state of California is studying ways to suspend financial transfers to Washington after the Trump administration threatened to withhold federal money from sanctuary cities, KPIX 5 has learned.
Officials are looking for money that flows through Sacramento to the federal government that could be used to offset the potential loss of billions of dollars’ worth of federal funds if President Trump makes good on his threat to punish cities and states that don’t cooperate with federal agents’ requests to turn over undocumented immigrants, a senior government source in Sacramento said.
California is among a handful of so-called “donor states,” which pay more in taxes to the federal Treasury than they receive in government funding.
The last paragraph is interesting. Maybe other states that pay more than they get could form a coalition?
