Story summary
- The U.S. Justice Department will announce four finalist cities to split $300 million in Model Cities policing grants.
- Each grant requires cities to drop progressive policing, obey immigration enforcement, may be repaid if violent crime spikes, and lasts three years for cities over 100,000.
- According to Amy Solomon, Justice Department appointees—not peer reviewers—will award the grant after mayors of Montgomery, Alabama; Billings, Montana (9-1 vote); and San Bernardino, California rejected it.
