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 explained her plans for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), including the inclusion of so-called Sanctuary States and Cities.

The Georgian congressman and fierce Trump ally will soon have a new, high-powered job assisting the Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy-led department.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer plans to create a congressional subcommittee chaired by Greene.

She outlined what some of her work could entail in an interview on Sunday, saying the first on her list will be to make the mayors and governors of areas where illegal migrants reside sing for their dinner.

“I would 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 are 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 vowed to defy the order, likely putting them in the front row with Greene.

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

Ibarra was assigned a “humanitarian flight” by New York officials to take 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 request them to help ease the migrant crisis in the Big Apple. Mayor Eric Adams has said since the election that he will work with Trump on the migrant crisis.

Greene listed several areas where the federal government could reduce waste, which she described as “failures” in the use of American taxpayer money.

“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 interests of the American people,” Greene said.

She took aim at major targets like National Public Radio, which she said “spread nothing but democratic propaganda.”

Greene also reiterated her plan to take advantage of federal buildings that waste taxpayer money because the employees who typically fill them work remotely.

“We also look at many – we have thousands – of buildings that the federal government owns and pays for over $15 billion a year, and yet those government buildings were sitting empty and these government employees were staying home.”

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

They also want to reduce wasteful regulation and spending in the federal government by specifically targeting the federal government workforce.

“Requiring federal workers to come into the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary resignations that we welcome: if federal workers don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay them for the Covid privilege era staying at home,” the couple wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed essay.

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

“And we don’t care about people’s feelings. We’re going to find the facts and we’re going to verify whether 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 laying off staff.

But they struck a sympathetic tone, reassuring potentially exiled government workers that they would get a soft landing.

“Workers whose positions have been eliminated deserve to be treated with respect, and DOGE’s goal is to help support their transition to the private sector,” the op-ed said.

They suggested that Trump could offer federal workers incentives for early retirement and severance pay so workers can make a smooth transition.

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

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

DOGE, they wrote, would complete their task and disband on July 4, 2026.

“We are prepared for the attack from entrenched interests in Washington. We expect to prevail. Now is the moment for decisive action,” they wrote.

Ramaswamy and Musk mocked Politico’s Playbook newsletter on social media Thursday morning, describing their goal as reducing “perceived government bureaucracy.”

“They have officially coined a new term: ‘Alleged government bureaucracy,’” Ramaswamy noted cheerfully. “Just an early indication of the coming attack.”

Musk also responded to X, sharing laughing emojis and the word “alleged.”

Ramaswamy, a staunch Trump supporter and former presidential candidate, was offered a co-chair position by the newly elected president

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

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

“Why are American tax dollars being spent to maintain vacant buildings?” asked the bill.

The agency acknowledged interest in potential hires, but warned that they needed “small-government revolutionaries with super-high IQs who were willing to work 80+ hours a week on unglamorous cost-cutting.”

“If that’s you, please DM this account with your resume,” the message read. ‘Elon & Vivek will assess the top 1% of applicants.’

Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, has applauded Musk’s plan, saying she has spent a lot of time urging federal workers to return to the office

“Elon Musk better take his scissors to DOGE because there’s $2 trillion worth of cutting work to be done,” Ernst told DailyMail.com.
