The Trump administration on Tuesday stepped up its pressure on so-called sanctuary cities, warning that it would withhold grant money unless local jurisdictions cooperate with federal immigration officials.
The Justice Department said that cities must provide federal immigration officials with access to jails and give a two-day notice before releasing a person who is residing in the U.S. illegally or risk funding being cut off.
