The list of hundreds of states, counties and municipalities was issued per Executive Order 14287, signed last month, that required DHS to identify governments deemed to be interfering with immigration policies.
According to DHS, the public governments named are cities or municipalities rated on several factors: If they identify themselves are sanctuary jurisdictions; their compliance with federal officials enforcing immigration laws; the sharing of information with immigration law enforcement; and if they offer protections to people in the country illegally.
The list will be used by the Office of Management and Budget to determine which is receiving federal funding before terminating the grants.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is in charge of enforcing immigration laws nationwide.
The White House believes the sanctuary jurisdictions on the list aren’t helping or alerting ICE agents about immigrants who are wanted for deportation or who might be held at detention centers, jails or prisons in the so-called sanctuary jurisdictions.
The Trump administration and DHS says if these jurisdictions “remain in defiance,” the attorney general and the secretary of Homeland Security can use “legal remedies and enforcement measures” they consider necessary to make them comply.
“We’re going to flood the zone in sanctuary cities,” said border czar Tom Homan. “We’ll give them exactly what they don’t want: more agents in the neighborhoods and more worksite enforcement.”
