List of ‘sanctuary jurisdictions’ removed from US government website following criticism
- The Department of Homeland Security removed its list of sanctuary jurisdictions from its website on Sunday, June 1, 2025, following its publication last Thursday.
- The list, part of Trump-era immigration enforcement efforts, faced criticism for including localities that supported the administration’s hard-line policies without sanctuary measures.
- Officials noted the list contained errors such as misspellings and misclassified areas like Shawano County, which is a Second Amendment Sanctuary County and voted heavily for Trump.
- Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons expressed frustration at sanctuary jurisdictions hindering immigrant detentions, reporting about 1,600 arrests per day and announcing nearly 1,500 arrests in a May Massachusetts operation.
- The list’s removal followed widespread official pushback and suggests ongoing DHS review of enforcement strategies amid debate over sanctuary policies and immigration enforcement challenges.
