Trump Is Targeting Sanctuary Cities

In late April, the White House issued yet another executive order threatening to withhold federal funds from all “sanctuary” jurisdictions, calling their lack of cooperation with federal immigration authorities “a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law.”

The executive order directs the Department of Justice, attorney general and Secretary of Homeland Security to provide a list of all sanctuary cities in order to suspend or terminate federal funding, including grants and contracts. Earlier this year, Trump’s Department of Justice directed federal prosecutors to investigate and criminally charge public officials who do not comply with federal immigration enforcement.
