Mayors across America vow to defy Trump on deporting immigrants, putting their federal grants of up to$10bn a year at risk.

Bill De Blasio is defying Donald Trump's executive order attacking sanctuary cities.

The New York City mayor blasted the president in a news conference on Wednesday, bashing an executive order signed by Trump to cut federal funding for cities that do not arrest or detain undocumented immigrants.

De Blasio vowed not to 'deport law-abiding New Yorkers', 'tear families apart', or 'leave children without their parents', adding on Twitter:

'The president's executive order runs contrary to our values, but the stroke of a pen does not change the people of New York City.

'He also said that Trump's order would contradict itself by decreasing the NYPD's resources, thus making it harder for the city to fight terrorism and crime.



Trump signed an executive order Wednesday (pictured) to cut federal funding for cities that do not arrest or detain undocumented immigrants.

@explorer, thumbs up for this thread.

Becoming a billionaire should be the easiest thing to achieve once you can use your brain.

Just look for a simple(to start with)problem and proffer a solution,that's all.

Impossibility isn't in my dictionary.

I've got tons of good ideas,likewise so many folks here, but 'circumstances' won't allow me.

Very soon I'm coming up with a platform for ideas and executions to intertwined easily and I hope you guys will support me.

Op for that change(balance) issue. printing and selling bus/cab tickets that is accepted by bus/cab drivers throughout a state might work. A passenger can buy for example 500 naira worth of ticket that is segmented in 50 50 naira or 20 20 naira so that in each scenario the passenger can always tear out any amount of bus fair and pay.
The key to it success is making it counterfeit proof and also printing it cheaply. You dont want to spend 400 naira in printing 500 bus ticket grin
Anyway that my own little thought. what do you guys think?
Nice one, but fake tickets will be in circulation. To make the tickets counterfeit proof, then the printing must be expensive.
