Cracking Down
Trump publishes list of sanctuary states and cities
The publication is part of an effort to force compliance with federal immigration laws.
Today (Thursday), President Donald Trump published a full list of sanctuary states and cities, which refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, as part of an effort to force these governments into compliance with his crackdown on illegal immigration.
The introduction to this list explained the rationale as follows:
"Sanctuary jurisdictions including cities, counties, and states that are deliberately and shamefully obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws endangering American communities. Sanctuary cities protect dangerous criminal aliens from facing consequences and put law enforcement in peril.
"The list below was created to identify sanctuary jurisdictions, which are determined by factors like compliance with federal law enforcement, information restrictions, and legal protections for illegal aliens.
"Each jurisdiction listed will receive formal notification of its non-compliance with Federal statutes. DHS demands that these jurisdictions immediately review and revise their policies to align with Federal immigration laws and renew their obligation to protect American citizens, not dangerous illegal aliens."
