US communities spanning from red to blue blast Trump administration’s sanctuary list

Last month, President Trump issued an executive order directing the Homeland Security secretary and attorney general to create a list of states and localities viewed as hindering federal immigration enforcement.
The list aims to identify states and local areas considered to obstruct federal immigration enforcement and mandates suspending federal grants or contracts to them.
Over 500 jurisdictions from diverse political and geographic backgrounds were named, including some heavily supportive of Trump, but several communities question their inclusion or find errors on the list.
Officials like Shawano County’s Jim Davel said, “We have no idea how we got on this list whatsoever,” while Seattle’s Mayor Harrell declared, “The law is on our side” and the measures “are not going to work.”
The controversy highlights unclear criteria and definitions for sanctuary jurisdictions, with officials warning the order could undermine local safety policies and community trust.
