President Trump Calls on Congress to Ban Sanctuary Cities and End Attacks on ICE

President Trump demanded Congress immediately outlaw sanctuary cities and urged Democrat leaders to stop obstructing ICE, calling on officials like Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey to turn over all criminal illegal aliens in state prisons and jails for immediate deportation, require state and local law enforcement to cooperate with federal authorities, and assist ICE in apprehending illegal aliens with criminal records, arguing that sanctuary policies endanger public safety by protecting illegal alien criminals over law-abiding citizens, while noting that cooperation in places such as Memphis and Washington, D.C., has led to safer streets, and reaffirming that these common-sense measures are central to his administration’s mission to make America safe and restore law and order nationwide.
