The Justice Department identified approximately three dozen jurisdictions as sanctuary areas, following the removal of an earlier, flawed list. The new announcement indicates a continued effort to challenge these jurisdictions legally. Attorney General Pamela Bondi asserted that sanctuary policies hinder law enforcement and threaten citizen safety. Sanctuary jurisdictions refer to areas that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The revised list included predominantly Democratic locations such as New York, California, and various cities, highlighting political lines in the immigration debate. The previous announcement was met with criticism and no clear explanations for its inaccuracies.
