This mayor is going to be using taxpayer funds to help illegals pay for their legal fees to prevent deportation.

Let's watch.

In many regards, this election cycle did not go as I'd hoped.

In response to Trump's national immigration policies, Frederick Mayor, Michael O'Connor, pledging to carve out space in his local budget for a legal advocacy fund,

which would use tax dollars to pay undocumented immigrants' attorneys' fees as they fight deportation. Ensuring they have the legal support they need to stand strong and remain in this community,

they have chosen to call home.

O'Connor explaining his intention is to allocate the money to organizations already providing

similar legal services, helping them expand the number of people they're able to support,

although he's still determining the exact dollar amount to set aside.

Some residents we spoke with, supportive of the end goal. not immigrant people also contribute to the country as well. But all of them against their tax dollars footing the bill. I'm torn.

I don't like the idea.

I'd rather our taxpayer money go towards American citizens.

You know you break the law?

It's just what happens.

Nobody helped me pay for my attorney fees when I break the law.

So why should we be paying for theirs out of taxpayer money?

But this comes out of a cost and this guy out. Clearly, these, these left

wing, woke radical mayors are completely deranged. It's not the first time we're seeing something

like this. They're, they're absolutely crazy. So if he does this, he'll probably end up in jail,

like what's what's going on. The Trump administration is saying that if you don't follow us,

basically you're, you're harboring illegals, which is illegal. So we'll see what happens. I'll keep

you guys updated, so be sure to follow me to stay updated.
