The Trump administration has released a new list of 'sanctuary jurisdictions' that may face legal action for obstructing immigration enforcement. This follows an initial list that included over 500 entities and was criticized for inaccuracies. The updated list consists of 35 jurisdictions, including several Democratic areas, with California cities prominently featured. While the announcement aims to reinforce immigration enforcement, it does not promise additional consequences beyond current federal actions. Attorney General Pamela Bondi emphasized a commitment to litigation against sanctuary jurisdictions, provoking responses from local officials conveying their opposition.
