Trump administration increases pressure on ‘sanctuary jurisdictions’ with public listing
- On Thursday evening, the Department of Homeland Security published a list identifying more than 500 jurisdictions across over 30 states, labeled as sanctuary jurisdictions for obstructing federal immigration laws.
- The list followed President Trump’s April 28 executive order directing DHS and the attorney general to target jurisdictions deemed noncompliant based on multiple factors including self-identification and legal protections for undocumented immigrants.
- Several jurisdictions, such as some Colorado counties and El Paso County, were removed shortly after publication amid criticism that the list contained errors and unclear criteria for inclusion.
- DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said sanctuary politicians endanger Americans and law enforcement, while critics called the list 'fatally flawed' for lacking transparency and accuracy.
- The Trump administration plans to notify these jurisdictions formally and seeks to enforce legal remedies and potential federal funding cuts to compel compliance with immigration enforcement efforts.
