In response to Trump’s immigration policies, Democratic-led cities initially embraced their sanctuary status and implemented protective legislation for immigrants. However, in the current Trump administration, such vocal opposition has diminished. Cities like Minneapolis are now favoring the term 'welcoming city' while maintaining limits on local law enforcement collaborations with federal immigration authorities. In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams appears to adopt immigration stances closer to Trump’s, signaling a shift in approach among Democratic leaders towards immigration defense.
At the dawn of the first Trump administration, cities and states led by Democrats were quick to air their outrage over the new president and his 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.
