During Trump's first presidency, cities and states governed by Democrats vocally supported immigrant rights and declared their sanctuary status. However, as the second administration unfolds, this support appears muted, with some cities opting for less charged terms like "welcoming city." Efforts to resist federal immigration enforcement remain but are less prominently championed. Notably, New York City's Mayor Eric Adams holds immigration views that are more aligned with Trump than traditional Democratic stances, indicating shifts in local leadership attitudes toward immigration policy.
At the dawn of the first Trump administration, cities and states led by Democrats quickly proclaimed their sanctuary status, opposing hard-line immigration policies.
In the opening days of the second Trump administration, the defense of the term sanctuary city has been far less vocal compared to the past.
