Trump Signs Executive Orders Targeting Sanctuary Cities Amid Immigration Crackdown
In a significant move, President Trump has signed multiple executive orders aimed at addressing immigration and targeting sanctuary cities across the United States. The new orders require a nationwide list of sanctuary cities and threaten to withhold federal funding from those that do not comply with federal immigration laws. This escalation comes as Trump approaches his first 100 days in office, with a particular focus on cities like Chicago and Seattle. However, federal judges have expressed skepticism about the legality of these orders, blocking Trump’s attempts to cut funding to sanctuary jurisdictions. As the administration intensifies its immigration policies, mayors from various cities are vowing to defend their sanctuary status against these federal threats.
