NEWPORT, R.I. — The Preservation Society of Newpor NEWPORT, R.I. — The Preservation Society of Newport County will offer free admission to The Breakers on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 19, giving residents and visitors an opportunity to explore one of Newport’s most iconic landmarks at no cost. The Breakers will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last entry at 4 p.m. Reservations and timed tickets are not required for the holiday. Because the number of guests permitted inside the house at one time is limited, visitors may experience a short wait before entering. A National Historic Landmark, The Breakers was built between 1893 and 1895 as the summer home of railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt II and his family. The Preservation Society of Newport County has owned and operated the mansion since 1972. Guests are encouraged to enhance their visit by enjoying the free audio tour, available through the Newport Mansions app. Visitors should download the app in advance and bring personal earphones or earbuds. A family-friendly audio tour is also available, designed to bring the history of The Breakers to life for younger guests. The MLK Day offering reflects the Preservation Society’s ongoing commitment to accessibility and community engagement while celebrating one of Newport’s most treasured historic sites. #newportmansions #newportri #newportbuzz
President Donald Trump is doubling down on his imm President Donald Trump is doubling down on his immigration crackdown — and Rhode Island is squarely in the crosshairs. Speaking Tuesday at the Detroit Economic Club, Trump warned that starting Feb. 1, his administration will cut off federal funding not just to sanctuary cities, but to entire states that host them. “Starting February first, we’re not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities,” Trump said. “They do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens.” The move dramatically raises the stakes — and could hit Rhode Island hard. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Rhode Island is officially designated a sanctuary jurisdiction, putting the Ocean State at risk of losing potentially significant federal dollars. Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, and Vermont are also on the list, along with 6 other states and Washington, D.C. Trump offered few details on exactly which funds would be targeted, but when pressed by reporters back in Washington, he teased sweeping consequences. “You’ll see,” Trump said. “It’ll be significant.” Early Wednesday morning, Trump made it official with a fiery Truth Social post, writing:
 “EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY FIRST, NO MORE PAYMENTS WILL BE MADE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO STATES FOR THEIR CORRUPT CRIMINAL PROTECTION CENTERS KNOWN AS SANCTUARY CITIES.” “All they do is breed crime and violence!” he added. “If states want them, they will have to pay for them!” Sanctuary jurisdictions typically limit cooperation between local police and federal immigration authorities and, in some cases, provide social services to undocumented immigrants. Trump has tried similar funding crackdowns before — efforts that were blocked by federal courts. This time, however, he’s casting a wider net, putting entire states like Rhode Island on notice. With Feb. 1 fast approaching, state leaders could soon be forced to choose: defy Trump — or risk losing federal cash. #donaldjtrump #sanctuarycity #newportbuzz
