The Trump administration is intensifying its immigration policy by targeting sanctuary jurisdictions through new executive orders. Ahead of his 100th day in office, Trump directed officials to identify states and cities that obstruct federal immigration enforcement. He claims that during the Biden administration, illegal immigration has surged, creating security concerns linked to criminal organizations. The orders threaten to cut federal funding to non-compliant jurisdictions, despite a recent judicial ruling that limits the administration's ability to withhold such funds. This dynamic has ignited a contentious legal and political landscape regarding immigration policy enforcement.
In his order, Trump said millions of aliens were allowed to unlawfully enter the U.S. during the Biden administration, resulting in serious national security concerns exacerbated by the presence of international cartels, terrorists and other criminal organizations/actors along the border. He called it an invasion, which requires the government to take measures to fulfill its obligation to public safety.
Local jurisdictions that find themselves on the list could risk losing federal funding, or face possible criminal and civil rights lawsuits, if they continue to resist Trump's immigration agenda.
