Trump to pull all federal funding going to sanctuary cities

President Trump announced on Thursday that he would be withholding federal funding to sanctuary cities, referring to them as a national disgrace. The move would impact Democratic-run cities across the nation, including Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and others.

"No more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the Criminals, not the Victims," the president wrote in a post on Truth Social. "They are disgracing our Country, and are being mocked all over the World. Working on papers to withhold all Federal Funding for any City or State that allows these Death Traps to exist!!!"

Sanctuary cities usually have laws that prohibit local and state law enforcement from assisting federal law enforcement with immigration enforcement efforts. The jurisdictions have been considered highly controversial, particularly because some laws prevent local and state law enforcement from working with ICE to apprehend illegal immigrants who have been charged or convicted of violent crimes.
