The Department of Homeland Security released a list of 38 states, 48 California counties, and 63 cities that it labels 'sanctuary jurisdictions' for obstructing federal immigration laws. This list follows President Trump’s Executive Order 14287, which targets jurisdictions that allegedly protect criminals and endanger community safety. The DHS emphasized the necessity for these jurisdictions to amend their policies to align with federal laws, asserting the importance of public safety and compliance with immigration regulations. The announcement specifically called out California and several Bay Area cities for their non-compliance.
President Trump’s executive order stipulates that sanctuary jurisdictions are ‘deliberately and shamefully obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws, endangering American communities.’
The DHS compilation of the list was based on factors including compliance with federal law enforcement and restrictions on information regarding undocumented immigrants.
