Trump aims to 'unleash' local police, but cautions against standing in the way of ICE

  • On Monday, April 28, 2025, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders aimed at empowering local police forces across the U.S. And intensifying enforcement against sanctuary jurisdictions.
  • The orders followed a background of rising concerns about sanctuary cities obstructing federal immigration enforcement and included calls for cooperation with ICE and legal defense for officers sued for on-duty actions.
  • The orders direct federal agencies to provide improved police training, pay, and crime data tracking while requiring the attorney general to pursue legal remedies against local officials for civil-rights violations or obstruction of law enforcement.
  • Nine law firms have committed to offering $940 million worth of pro bono legal support to police officers, while administration officials emphasized the importance of following the law and warned against interfering with federal law enforcement agents.
  • These executive orders may reinvigorate local-federal police cooperation but have raised legal and constitutional concerns among critics about federal overreach and possible impacts on community trust and policing autonomy.
