President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this week to crack down on sanctuary jurisdictions impeding federal immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The directive requires the Justice Department to compile a list of all sanctuary city jurisdictions and then take action to cut off or suspend federal funding to those places. Under Trump, cities across the country, like Boston, have already made it difficult for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to apprehend illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThis invasion at the southern border requires the Federal Government to take measures to fulfill its obligation to the States,\u201d Trump wrote in the executive order. \u201cYet some State and local officials nevertheless continue to use their authority to violate, obstruct, and defy the enforcement of Federal immigration laws. This is a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law and the Federal Government\u2019s obligation to defend the territorial sovereignty of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
After the list of sanctuary jurisdictions is published, those entities would be given the chance to comply with federal law. If they don\u2019t comply, they could lose federal funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe executive order also directs the Justice Department and Homeland Security to ensure that federal benefits are not provided to illegals in sanctuary jurisdictions and to \u201ctake appropriate action to stop the enforcement of State and local laws, regulations, policies, and practices favoring aliens over any groups of American citizens that are unlawful, preempted by Federal law, or otherwise unenforceable.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this month, Trump called sanctuary jurisdictions \u201cdeath traps\u201d and promised to cut off federal funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the Criminals, not the Victims. They are disgracing our Country and are being mocked all over the World,\u201d he posted on Truth Social. \u201cWorking on papers to withhold all Federal Funding for any City or State that allows these Death Traps to exist!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While contrasting the Biden and Trump administrations, border czar Homan said that between 11,000-15,000 people were crossing the border illegally per day this time of the year under Biden, while under Trump, just 178 had crossed in the last 24 hours. During the same time, he said there were 1,800 known \u201cgotaways\u201d under Biden, compared to just 38 under Trump. Homan added that from January 20 to April 1, 2024, Biden released 184,000 illegals out of federal custody into the country. The Trump administration has only released nine total, including four so they could testify in criminal cases and four with extreme medical conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In total, Homan said that there have been 139,000 deportations under Trump. He added that the administration was prioritizing the estimated 700,000 illegals who have been charged with crimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
