Trump’s DOJ Pressuring Sanctuary Cities and States to Stop Blocking Immigration Enforcement
Warner Todd Huston5 May 202520
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is pressuring sanctuary cities and states to end their obstruction of federal immigration law.
As the administration of President Donald Trump continues to ramp up its policy of mass deportations of criminal illegals, the DOJ is also moving to pressure sanctuary cities in deep-blue Democrat states to stop their obstruction of immigration enforcement.
On May 1, for instance, the DOJ filed a complaint against Illinois for encroaching on federal immigration authority.
“This Department of Justice is committed to protecting American workers, employers, and enforcing federal immigration law,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. “Any state that incentivizes illegal immigration and makes it harder for federal authorities to do their job will face legal consequences from this Administration.”
The DOJ also launched a probe into Minnesota’s Hennepin County Attorney’s Office for its policy of taking race into consideration when striking plea deals with criminal defendants.
