The Trump administration is escalating its efforts against sanctuary cities, with Attorney General Pam Bondi at the forefront. Bondi has officially declared that the District of Columbia will not maintain its sanctuary status, prompting law enforcement to notify ICE of illegal migrants. This announcement aligns with a broader strategy targeting cities that resist federal immigration enforcement. Numerous jurisdictions, including California and Connecticut, have received ultimatums from the DOJ, warning of potential legal action and funding cuts if they do not comply with federal immigration laws. The department has updated its list of sanctuary jurisdictions, recently removing Georgia and Cincinnati while designating new cities like New Orleans and labeling Seattle and Washington as obstructionist to immigration enforcement. As the pressure on sanctuary cities mounts, officials are bracing for potential criminal charges and lawsuits from the federal government.
