Cities that do not take action to protect infrastructure amid the ongoing illegal immigration-related riots should not expect to be funded by the Department of Transportation (DOT), said Secretary Sean Duffy in a June 16 post on social media platform X.
“The @USDOT will NOT fund rogue state actors who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement,” he wrote. “And to cities that stand by while rioters destroy transportation infrastructure—don’t expect a red cent from DOT, either. Follow the law, or forfeit the funding.”
