On Inauguration Day, President Donald Trump issued several executive orders, notably targeting sanctuary jurisdictions that limit cooperation with ICE. These jurisdictions aim to protect immigrant communities by restraining local law enforcement from enforcing federal immigration policies. Trump's order directs the U.S. attorney general to pursue the strongest legal action against such jurisdictions, echoing previous threats from his first term. Despite this, coalitions of state attorneys general and grassroots organizations are actively defending sanctuary policies, striving to maintain protections for immigrant families against a backdrop of intimidation and fear from the administration.
