President Trump is taking aim at sanctuary cities with a bold executive order that would cut off federal funding and crack down on criminal illegal immigrants. Tom Homan, the administration’s fierce Border Czar, has already led operations in Boston resulting in hundreds of arrests including child predators and gang members. They’re cutting off cities that refuse to comply with the law!
At a glance:
• President Trump plans to issue an Executive Order targeting sanctuary jurisdictions that shield illegal immigrants from federal authorities
• Boston recently saw 380 ICE arrests under Tom Homan’s leadership, including MS-13 gang members and violent criminals
• The Executive Order aims to withhold federal funding from cities and states that refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement
• Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron supports the move, saying jurisdictions interfering with federal law “do not deserve taxpayer money”
• Democrat leaders like Boston Mayor Michelle Wu continue to oppose the administration’s immigration enforcement efforts
Trump’s Bold Plan to End Sanctuary Cities
President Donald Trump is preparing to issue an Executive Order targeting “sanctuary” jurisdictions across America that limit or ban cooperation with federal immigration authorities. It’s a move that many didn’t even expect, and has come as a surprise to some who didn’t even realize that the President could do quite as much as the President is doing.
The move is designed to enforce compliance with federal immigration laws and end policies that hinder the administration’s deportation efforts.
Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel J. Cameron anticipates the order will specifically target federal funding for non-compliant jurisdictions. “Inside of the United States, your zip code should be irrelevant when it comes to enforceable federal law,” Cameron stated.
Cameron further emphasized that “Cities and states that harbor illegal aliens from federal authorities or otherwise actively interfere with the enforcement of federal law do not deserve taxpayer money or support. Plain and simple.” The former Attorney General said he believes Executive Orders have proven effective under Trump’s leadership, pointing to previous successes at the southern border.
Homan’s Crackdown on Criminal Aliens
Border Czar Tom Homan has been leading the charge against illegal immigration in sanctuary cities, with Boston recently becoming a focal point of enforcement efforts. His operation in Boston resulted in 380 ICE arrests, including members of notorious gangs like MS-13 and other violent offenders.
Homan has taken a particularly strong stance against illegal aliens who have committed serious offenses like child sexual assault. Many of the arrests in Boston included individuals wanted for serious crimes, including murder and child sexual predation.
Trump’s administration is seeking to expand ICE detention facilities specifically to house criminal illegal immigrants caught in these operations. Cameron views Executive Orders as an effective initial step in immigration enforcement, noting that “We didn’t need new laws for border crossings to plummet from the Biden-era highs.”
Legal Challenges and Democratic Opposition
The Executive Order is expected to face significant legal challenges, continuing a pattern of court obstacles for Trump’s immigration policies. Cameron acknowledged this reality, saying “the radical left continues to weaponize the legal system to oppose common-sense policies.”
Democratic leaders in sanctuary jurisdictions have vowed to fight the administration’s efforts to force compliance with federal immigration enforcement. The conflict highlights the fundamental disagreement between Republican enforcement priorities and Democratic protection of immigrant communities.
But this is a fight worth having.
