US EditionTrump Administration Increases Pressure on 'Sanctuary Jurisdictions' with Public Listing
- On April 28, 2025, the Trump administration released a list identifying over 500 sanctuary jurisdictions nationwide that it determined were hindering federal immigration enforcement efforts.
- This action followed an executive order directing the Homeland Security Secretary and Attorney General to identify jurisdictions limiting cooperation with immigration enforcement.
- The list was compiled using factors including whether jurisdictions identified as sanctuary, their compliance with federal immigration enforcement, and legal protections for undocumented immigrants.
- DHS Secretary Kristi Noem criticized sanctuary city leaders, accusing them of putting both the public and law enforcement at risk by shielding dangerous criminal undocumented immigrants, as these jurisdictions receive formal warnings of noncompliance.
- The administration intends to suspend or terminate federal grants to these jurisdictions and may pursue legal remedies if they remain defiant, advancing Trump’s campaign promise to remove millions living illegally.
