Since taking office, Donald Trump has focused on sanctuary cities, threatening to withhold federal funding in an effort to dismantle policies that shield undocumented immigrants. Recently, he directed his administration to identify jurisdictions that obstruct federal immigration enforcement. Sanctuary cities generally have policies that promote immigrant access to local resources while limiting cooperation with federal agencies like ICE. The movement for sanctuary cities dates back decades, reflecting ongoing tensions between federal immigration laws and local jurisdictions' attempts to support immigrant communities.
Sanctuary cities face federal backlash, with Trump aiming to cut funding and crack down on jurisdictions that protect undocumented immigrants, reigniting historical tensions.
Defining sanctuary cities is complicated; policies vary, yet they aim to provide undocumented immigrants access to local resources and limit cooperation with federal ICE enforcement.
