President Trump's administration is moving forward with aggressive mass deportation tactics by instructing U.S. attorneys to prosecute state and city officials who do not comply with new immigration enforcement policies. This development coincides with planned raids in cities with significant undocumented immigrant populations. Many cities and states identify as sanctuaries, potentially leading to confrontations with federal authorities. The administration also expresses concerns over career employees resisting these directives and is contemplating disciplinary measures against attorneys who do not comply, amidst the backdrop of approximately 14 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. The Pentagon plans to send additional troops to the southern border to support Trump’s objectives.
About a dozen states and hundreds of cities across the country consider themselves sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants, and the raids raise the possibility of clashes with federal authorities.
The Trump team, concerned that career department employees will not execute orders they deem to be immoral or unlawful, has considered taking disciplinary actions against prosecutors who refuse to comply.
