US EditionThere Are Now Over 1,000 Sanctuary Jurisdictions Nationwide, Finds New Report by FAIR
- On June 3, 2025, an analysis released in Washington by FAIR reported that at least 1,003 jurisdictions across the United States have implemented sanctuary policies.
- The increase to 1,003 sanctuary jurisdictions from 300 in 2016 follows a trend of expanding protections for unauthorized immigrants across 17 states and D.C.
- These jurisdictions include cities, towns, and counties that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, with some adopting formal ordinances, such as Los Angeles.
- Julie Kirchner, executive director of FAIR, asserted that the widespread adoption of sanctuary policies is motivated by political agendas rather than genuine concerns for community safety or well-being.
- FAIR's list aims to guide ICE and federal agencies in resource deployment as the Trump administration continues its efforts to enforce immigration laws and deport unauthorized immigrants.
