Trump Administration Publishes List of Sanctuary Cities and Counties to Target – WSJ

The Trump administration on Thursday named counties and cities in more than 30 states, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle, as sanctuary jurisdictions it could go after for not complying with federal immigration laws.

President Trump has threatened to pull federal funding and pursue lawsuits against places that don t change their practices.

Sanctuary cities place limits on asking residents about their immigration status and on helping federal officials with immigration enforcement. That makes it harder for the administration to arrest people who are in the U.S. illegally and makes Trump s push for mass deportations more difficult.

Trump in late April ordered the attorney general and the Department of Homeland Security to identify these cities and states within a month. 

Several of the administration s executive orders have called for withholding funds from sanctuary cities, leading to litigation from cities and states. A federal judge in California in April barred the federal government from withholding funds from cities and counties in the state under the executive orders while the case continues.
