FTLF Managing Partner Edward “Ted” Waters was recently interviewed on Michigan NPR’s “Stateside” where he discussed issues surrounding the threatened discontinuation of federal grant funding to  “sanctuary cities.”   The interview aired on Friday, April 7, just days after Lansing became Michigan’s first official “sanctuary city”.

In the interview, Ted discusses the typical relation of defunding to grant conditions, the role of the suspension and debarment process, and various historical examples of threats to federal funding.

Ted recently published a blog on this topic as well as an op-ed in The Hill.
