Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who leads a subcommittee tasked with reducing government waste, plans to scrutinize sanctuary states and cities. She believes they should justify receiving federal funding while harboring undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes.
Greene highlighted the tragic murder of Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant as an example of the dangers posed by sanctuary policies. She also plans to investigate NPR and other government-funded media outlets, as well as government contracts and programs that may no longer serve a purpose.
Greene is particularly concerned about government employees who continue to work remotely, and she intends to examine the use of empty government buildings. She emphasizes that the subcommittee will prioritize facts and ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.
