Trump to sign executive order to target sanctuary cities

President Trump on Monday will sign an executive order that will direct his administration to draw up a list of sanctuary cities that are not complying with federal immigration laws in an effort to crack down on local governments not cooperating with his actions.

The order will direct Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “provide a list of sanctuary cities in which local officials are not complying with this federal order and are not complying with federal immigration laws,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday, adding that the published list will include “state and local jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws.”

“It’s quite simple obey the law, respect the law, and don’t obstruct federal immigration officials and law enforcement officials when they are simply trying to remove public safety threats from our nation’s communities,” Leavitt said.

The press secretary and Trump’s border czar Tom Homan previewed the order at an 8:30 a.m. EDT briefing Monday that was focused on the president’s actions on immigration in the first 100 days of his second administration.

Trump will also sign another executive order on Monday that aims to “strengthen and unleash America’s law enforcement to pursue criminals and protect innocent citizens,” Leavitt said.

Trump is expected to sign the orders at 5 p.m.

As of Monday, the president will have signed more than 140 executive order in his first 100 days in office, according to the White House.

A federal judge last week ruled Trump’s previous order that directed Bondi and Noem to ensure “sanctuary” jurisdictions “do not receive access to federal funds” is likely unconstitutional.

That ruling blocked the administration from enforcing the order against various jurisdictions in California that are suing Monterey County and the cities of Emeryville, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz. 

The White House on Monday displayed signs of 100 people arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including their photographs and listing crimes they had allegedly committed, to mark Trump’s first 100 days in office.
