US EditionList of ‘sanctuary jurisdictions’ removed from US government website following criticism
- In late May 2025, the Department of Homeland Security took down its online listing of over 500 jurisdictions labeled as sanctuary cities, counties, and states after facing substantial criticism.
- The list originated from President Trump's April 28, 2025 executive order directing DHS and the attorney general to identify jurisdictions obstructing federal immigration law enforcement.
- Many cities and law enforcement groups disputed the list's accuracy, claiming it lacked clear criteria and improperly included places like Las Vegas and Aurora.
- National Sheriffs' Association President Kieran Donahue called the list arbitrary and damaging to trust, stating it was created without input or mechanisms for objection.
- The list's removal indicates ongoing federal-local tensions over immigration enforcement, with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem affirming sanctuary policies endanger communities and law enforcement.
