Trump Administration Intensifies Pressure on Sanctuary Jurisdictions
The Trump administration has significantly escalated its efforts against sanctuary jurisdictions, publicly listing over 500 cities and counties accused of defying federal immigration laws. This initiative includes notable targets such as Baltimore, Philadelphia, and various counties in Maryland and Colorado. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) highlighted cities like Las Vegas and Rochester, warning about non-compliance with ICE regulations. Local leaders in these jurisdictions contest the accusations, arguing that they are not violating federal law. As a consequence of this designation, federal funding may be at risk for these areas as the administration aims to enforce stricter immigration policies.
