Boston officials anticipate a federal immigration crackdown prompted by the Trump administration’s focus on sanctuary cities. Mayor Michelle Wu stresses that while the city remains dedicated to upholding its sanctuary status, it will continue to comply with all legal requirements.
A federal judge on Friday prevented the Trump administration from withholding federal funds from dozens of so-called “sanctuary” cities, including Los Angeles and Chicago. The decision impacts multiple large urban areas and marks a serious legal setback for the administration’s funding strategy.
President Donald Trump has directed law enforcement to intensify immigration raids in Democratic-led cities, calling it the “single largest mass deportation program in history.” This move targets sanctuary jurisdictions resisting federal enforcement, escalating his hardline stance ahead of the election.
In a significant rebuke to the Trump administration, federal judges have ruled against policies on sanctuary cities and elections, handing defeats to the White House. These decisions represent notable setbacks for the administration’s agenda.
In his latest effort to combat illegal immigration, President Trump has signed a new executive order targeting sanctuary cities and federal aid for undocumented migrants. The action represents a significant move in his ongoing crackdown on illegal immigration.
