FAIR Report: Sanctuary Jurisdictions Have Nearly Doubled Since Trump Took Office
Countless Americans have been needlessly victimized, and some have lost their lives, because local sanctuary policies prevented the perpetrators from being identified as deportable aliens.
(May 10, 2018, Washington, D.C.) —So-called sanctuary policies that shield illegal aliens from identification and removal by federal immigration authorities have doubled since the election of President Trump, finds a new report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). An exhaustive analysis of state and local policies, ordinances, and laws reveals that 564 jurisdictions – nearly double the number since President Trump took office – across the country have adopted policies that, to one degree or another, protect illegal aliens or obstruct efforts by the federal government to enforce immigration laws.
