Bondi DOJ names and shames 35 sanctuary cities that ‘put American citizens at risk’
- On April 28, 2025, an executive order was issued by President Donald Trump directing the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security to compile and release a list of jurisdictions classified as sanctuary cities.
- This order responded to concerns about sanctuary policies allegedly impeding law enforcement and putting American citizens at risk, amid longstanding federal-state immigration conflicts.
- The Justice Department posted the list online, which includes Baltimore County, Maryland, Albuquerque, and other jurisdictions marked by policies that hinder federal immigration enforcement.
- Attorney General Pamela Bondi asserted that sanctuary policies obstruct law enforcement efforts and intentionally create dangers for American citizens, while President Trump emphasized the need to remove criminals from the country.
- The DOJ plans further litigation to compel compliance and may cut federal funding to listed jurisdictions, while offering assistance to those aiming to remove sanctuary policies.
