Sanctuary states, cities should explain to DOGE why they deserve federal money: MTG

One area Greene said she wants the subcommittee to investigate is tied to the immigration crisis.

"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 said.

Greene also laid out a slew of other areas that could face the chopping block under the subcommittee's plan to cut government spending.

"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.

The congresswoman said government-funded media programs like NPR, which she claimed "spread nothing but Democrat propaganda," will be under the subcommittee's microscope.

She also said it will investigate active government contracts and programs to see if they still "make sense" or if "their purpose has expired."

"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."

Greene called these points "failures" in the government's service to the American people.
