Trump Vows To End Sanctuary Cities If Reelected

Former U.S. President Trump's criminal trial over hush money payment, in New York City

During a campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, former President Donald Trump announced his intention to eliminate sanctuary cities across the United States if he is reelected. Sanctuary cities are jurisdictions that have policies in place to limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

Trump's plan involves pushing for congressional action to outlaw sanctuary cities and granting more power to federal law enforcement to address undocumented immigration. He emphasized the need to increase the presence of federal law enforcement officers in cities that do not comply with turning over undocumented immigrants.

As president, Trump previously attempted to stop federal funding for sanctuary cities through an executive order but faced legal challenges that prevented its implementation. He has consistently criticized sanctuary cities for their immigration policies.

If reelected, Trump plans to work with Congress to pass legislation that would effectively eliminate sanctuary cities and strengthen federal immigration enforcement efforts nationwide.
