President Trump condemned so-called “sanctuary cities” and accused Democrats in Congress of “holding troop funding hostage and putting our national security at risk” over their push to provide permanent protections for Dreamers in a government spending bill.

“Democrats in Congress not only oppose our efforts to stop illegal immigrants and crack down on sanctuary cities, now they are demanding amnesty as a condition for funding the government, holding troop funding hostage and putting our national security at risk,” Trump said in his weekly address. “We cannot allow it.”
