The gov't may try to fuck with NYC using ICE or whatever, but honestly I think the fears about federal funding are overblown.

NYC generates like 2+ trillion GDP all on its own. It is the largest metropolitan economy in the world let alone the United States. I don't know how much NYC actually depends on federal money, but if there's any city that has a chance to figure out how to make it through a government funding squeeze, it's NYC.

Honestly I think the only recourse the fed has to put pressure on NYC is the actual gestapo shit they've already been pulling in Chicago.



NYC will riot french style if ICE moves in en-masse


That won’t be enough to stop ICE.
