Donovan’s tricky dance

- Marisa Schultz

Staten Island Republican Rep. Dan Donovan is walking a legislativ­e tightrope between the Trump administra­tion and his constituen­ts, proposing a measure to hit sanctuary cities with financial penalties, but not target funding to police.

Donovan plans to introduce a bill this week that would cut off federal funding to New York and other sanctuary cities for the costs associated with jailing undocument­ed criminal immigrants, but not endanger anti-terrorism money for the NYPD.

White House-sponsored bills have targeted the terrorism funds.
