President Trump plans to sign two executive orders focused on ramping up immigration enforcement, particularly against sanctuary cities that hinder deportation efforts. One order will list these jurisdictions, potentially leading to legal action against those that obstruct federal immigration officials. The other would support law enforcement with legal backing for accused officers and equip police with military gear. The administration has expressed frustration with localities not holding undocumented migrants for federal detention, exemplified by ongoing lawsuits against cities like Rochester, NY.
Karoline Leavitt stated, 'The Trump administration's latest orders aim to enforce immigration laws by taking aim at sanctuary cities, increasing deportation rates across the country.'
The executive orders signal an aggressive stance against local jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, potentially leading to lawsuits against non-compliant cities.
