US EditionList of ‘sanctuary jurisdictions’ removed from US government website following criticism
- Last week, a list of sanctuary jurisdictions was released on the Department of Homeland Security’s website but was taken down by Sunday after facing public criticism.
- The list drew extensive backlash due to the inclusion of localities supporting the Trump administration's strict immigration measures and contained notable mistakes, including incorrect labels for several Virginia communities.
- Officials in affected communities, such as Shawano County administrator Jim Davel, claimed inclusion was an error and noted no DHS contact before listing, while some cities vocally pushed back against the designation.
- DHS Secretary Kristi Noem acknowledged official anger about the list, and Senators Warner and Kaine criticized its flawed details, with Warner calling it "nothing but cheap talk" on government efficiency.
- The removal suggests DHS will review and update the list regularly, reflecting ongoing tensions between federal immigration enforcement and local jurisdiction designations.
