The U.S. Justice Department has published an official list of sanctuary jurisdictions, naming several cities and states, including Baltimore County, Nevada, Vermont, New York, and Denver. Acting ICE director has expressed concerns that these sanctuary cities provide a safe environment for criminal migrants, allowing them to roam neighborhoods unchecked. The Department of Homeland Security has also accused Stearns County of non-compliance with federal immigration laws. In response to a warning from the DOJ, one sanctuary city has pledged to follow the law. This move underscores the ongoing tension between federal and local authorities regarding immigration enforcement.
