Trump Threatens Officials: Raids and Sanctions

The Department of Justice issued a memorandum to investigate Sanctuary Cities officials who disobey immigration orders.

The document, signed by Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, was published by U.S. media outlets.

According to the memorandum, local authorities cannot resist, obstruct, or fail to comply with immigration orders.

U.S. Attorneys’ offices will assess cases of misconduct that could lead to criminal proceedings.

Sanctuary Cities Under Pressure: Trump Intensifies Immigration Measures

The measure is aimed at officials in so-called ‘sanctuary cities,’ which do not cooperate with the government on immigration matters.

It also urges legal action against ‘sanctuary laws’ that protect undocumented migrants.

Trump has made immigration and border security focal points of his second term.

The president has promised massive raids and deportations as part of his immigration strategy.

These actions reinforce the government’s stance against jurisdictions that defy its immigration policy.
