Marjorie Taylor Greene reveals how Elon Musk’s DOGE will crack down on sanctuary cities that fight Trump’s mass deportation agenda

Marjorie Taylor Greene laid out her plans for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which include taking on so-called Sanctuary States and Cities.

The Georgia Congresswoman and fierce Trump ally will soon have a new powerful job assisting the Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy-led department.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer plans to create a Congressional subcommittee chaired by Greene.

She outlined what some of her work may involve in an interview on Sunday and said first on her list will be to make the mayors and governors of areas harboring illegal migrants sing for their supper.

‘I’d like to talk to the governors of sanctuary states and the mayors of sanctuary cities and have them come before our committee and explain why they deserve federal dollars if they’re going to harbor illegal criminal aliens in their states and their cities,’ she told Fox News.

Trump has promised to declare a national emergency and use the military to deport millions of illegal immigrants from America.

Mayors of cities like Boston and Denver have promised to defy the order which will likely get them a front row seat with Greene.

Greene cited work by those in favor of safe haven for illegal migrants in the 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ing of 22-year-old Laken Riley, who was 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed by Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan national here illegally.

Ibarra was granted a ‘humanitarian flight’ provided by New York officials to get him to Atlanta in September 2023, just months before he brutally murdered Riley.

As previously reported by DailyMail.com, New York City officials have offered plane tickets to migrants who ask for them in order to mitigate the migrant crisis in the Big Apple. Mayor Eric Adams has, since the election, said he’ll work with Trump on the migrant crisis.

Greene listed several areas where the federal government could cut waste, which she described as ‘failures’ of use of American tax dollars.

‘The way to do that is to cut programs, contracts, employees, grant programs, you name it, that are failing the American people and not serving the American people’s interests,’ Greene said.

She took shots at big targets like National Public Radio, which she says ‘spread nothing but Democrat propaganda.’

Greene also reiterated her plan to make use of federal buildings that are wasting taxpayer dollars because the employees who typically filled it up work remotely.

‘We’re also looking at many – we have thousands – of buildings that the federal government owns and pays for with over $15 billion a year, but yet those government buildings stood empty and these government employees stay at home.’

Musk and Ramaswamy announced their plans in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Thursday to force federal workers to return to the office in order to end the work-from-home culture that settled into the federal government during the coronavirus pandemic.

They also want to cut wasteful regulations and spending in federal government by specifically targeting the number of federal government employees.

‘Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome: If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home,’ the pair wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion essay.

Greene says their overarching promise is a cold, logical approach to auditing the federal government on behalf of DOGE.

‘And we don’t care about people’s feelings. We’re going to be searching for the facts and we’re going to be verifying if this is worth spending the American people’s hard-earned tax dollars on.’

Musk and Ramaswamy further argued in their op-ed that Trump has the authority to order ‘reductions in force’ despite existing civil-service protection laws that would prevent the executive branch from firing personnel.

But they sounded a compassionate note, reassuring potentially exiled government employees they would receive a soft landing.

‘Employees whose positions are eliminated deserve to be treated with respect, and DOGE’s goal is to help support their transition into the private sector,’ read the op-ed.

They proposed that Trump could offer federal employees incentives for early retirement and severance payments for employees to make a smooth transition.

DOGE, the pair wrote, would also seek to reduce cost savings by cutting the over $500 billion in spending from the executive branch that was not specifically authorized by Congress.

They pointed to other obvious problems in government, such as the Pentagon’s failure to pass an audit for the seventh time.

DOGE, they wrote, would complete their task by July 4, 2026 and dissolve.

‘We are prepared for the onslaught from entrenched interests in Washington. We expect to prevail. Now is the moment for decisive action,’ they wrote.

Ramaswamy and Musk spent Thursday morning on social media mocking Politico’s Playbook newsletter describing their goal as slashing ‘alleged government bureaucracy.’

‘They’ve officially invented a new phrase: ‘Alleged government bureaucracy,’ Ramaswamy noted gleefully. ‘Just an early indicator of the coming onslaught.’

Musk also reacted on X, sharing laughing emojis and the word ‘alleged.’

DOGE has it’s own social media account on X.com, as it highlights glaringly wasteful spending by the federal government.

The account highlighted Wednesday that only 12 percent of government office space in Washington, DC was being used by employees.

‘Why are American taxpayer dollars being spent to maintain empty buildings?’ the account asked.

The agency acknowledged interest in potential employees, but warned they needed ‘super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting.’

‘If that’s you, DM this account with your CV,’ the message read. ‘Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants.’

Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, has cheered Musk’s plan as she has spent significant time pushing federal employees to return to the office

‘Elon Musk better bring his scissors to DOGE because there is $2 trillion worth of cutting to do,’ Ernst told.
