US EditionTrump renews fight over 'sanctuary' communities
- On May 1, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive directive aimed at strengthening the enforcement of federal immigration laws in sanctuary cities and jurisdictions across the United States.
- The order targets sanctuary jurisdictions that defy federal immigration laws and offer benefits, such as in-state tuition, to undocumented students—practices that the administration considers illegal.
- It requires federal officials to list jurisdictions defying federal law, identify funds subject to suspension, and take actions to stop state and local laws favoring aliens over American citizens, including terminating in-state tuition benefits for undocumented students.
- Legal experts note the executive order itself cannot revoke federal funding directly, but Congress could pass laws to cut funds; the order aims mainly to pressure states, though it may prompt legal challenges and heighten political conflicts.
- The order escalates federal efforts against sanctuary cities, signaling possible future criminal charges for officials obstructing immigration enforcement and raising significant debates on federalism, immigration policy, and public safety.
