Trump Signs Orders Targeting Sanctuary Cities

President Donald Trump is set to sign two executive orders targeting sanctuary cities and intensifying immigration enforcement as he approaches his 100th day in office. One order will provide federal resources, legal protections, and increased pay for law enforcement officers, while the other directs the publication of a list of sanctuary jurisdictions and threatens them with potential loss of federal funding and legal action. These moves follow a federal judge's decision to block previous efforts to withhold federal funds from noncompliant cities, citing constitutional concerns. The administration argues the measures are needed for public safety and fulfilling campaign promises, but critics warn they may undermine local authority and community trust. The orders highlight Trump's focus on immigration as a key policy priority despite ongoing legal and political opposition. The controversy reflects deep divisions over federal versus local control in immigration enforcement.
