There are more than 1,000 jurisdictions across the United States that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, a new study indicates, marking a drastic surge over the past several years.
The number of sanctuary jurisdictions have nearly doubled since 2018, with a total of 1,003 jurisdictions obstructing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as it attempts to enforce federal immigration law, the report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) found.
That figure, FAIR says, includes Washington, D.C., and 17 states that have state-wide illegal alien sanctuary policies.
“What started as a small movement has since been expanded by open-border advocates, resulting in a widespread trend that undermines federal immigration law and threatens national security,” FAIR pointed out in its report, also noting that sanctuary policies “pose a serious threat to the safety and security of the American people” and “conflict with federal law.”
