<p>President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday to crack down on sanctuary jurisdictions impeding federal immigration enforcement.</p>
<p>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>
<p>&#8220;This invasion at the southern border requires the Federal Government to take measures to fulfill its obligation to the States,&#8221; Trump wrote in the executive order. &#8220;Yet 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&#8217;s obligation to defend the territorial sovereignty of the United States.&#8221;</p>
<p>After the list of sanctuary jurisdictions is published, those entities would be given the chance to comply with federal law. If they don&#8217;t comply, they could lose federal funding.</p>
<p>The 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 &#8220;take 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.&#8221;</p>
<p>The White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-protects-american-communities-from-criminal-aliens/">provided</a> examples of sanctuary jurisdictions refusing to cooperate with ICE. For example, authorities in Massachusetts declined to hold multiple illegal immigrants accused of raping children. The White House also said that officials in Philadelphia ignored an ICE detainer on a Honduran man who went on to rape a child.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Trump called sanctuary jurisdictions &#8220;death traps&#8221; and promised to cut off federal funding.</p>
<p>&#8220;No more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the Criminals, not the Victims. They are disgracing our Country and are being mocked all over the World,&#8221; he posted on Truth Social. &#8220;Working on papers to withhold all Federal Funding for any City or State that allows these Death Traps to exist!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>While some jurisdictions have doubled down on their sanctuary status, New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams has walked back some of his city&#8217;s lax immigration policies. Earlier this month, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyc-mayor-adams-reverses-sanctuary-policy-restores-ice-presence-on-rikers-island" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that ICE would be allowed to resume operations at Rikers Island jail to target criminal gangs and drug trafficking, reversing a previous policy banning the agency from the facility. Adams did specify that NYC would work with ICE on criminal matters, not civil.</p>
