#Trump suggested that he could soon take executive action to end #SanctuaryCities, which generally are described as areas that limit cooperation w/ #ICE.
“We’re gonna end sanctuary cities for some of these jurisdictions that aren’t cooperating with law enforcement,” Trump said.
Trump didn’t provide details, but he has spent years criticizing Democrat-led jurisdictions for failing to impose harder-line #immigration policies.
Fusion centers act as back doors for I.C.E. in sanctuary cities. Fusion centers in sanctuary cities need to stop sharing a roof with I.C.E. agents, and stop sharing fucking surveillance data with them!
Fusion centers are inherently deeply problematic, but stopping illegal cooperation with I.C.E. in sanctuary cities is an obvious and urgent first step to minimizing harm!
Trump administration relocating Denver, 6 other SBA offices to non-sanctuary cities
Trump administration cracks down on cities with immigrant-friendly policies.
From: United We Dream
Thank you to all the mayors of #sanctuarycities who continue to be allies to the immigrant community.
And to the Trump administration who continues to try to bully local leaders into ignoring immigrants: we will NOT be ignored.
“The Trump administration plans to move the Small Business Administration’s regional office out of Denver in the coming months.
‘The SBA will relocate six of its regional offices currently in municipalities that do not comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,’ SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said Thursday in a statement.”

…#Republicans have already signaled that cities with policies like #Boston’s may lose federal #funding if they don’t change their approach.
“I don’t get to decide who comes into our country, & where they go after that,” Wu responded. “Our job is to keep people fed, & healthy, & safe when they arrive in our city. And we do that in order to make sure that everyone across our community is safe.”

This is absolutely outrageous. During a hearing on #SanctuaryCities today, Republican #JamesComer of #Kentucky refuses to let Democrat Congresswoman #AyannaPressley of #Massachusetts to enter into the record an article correctly reporting that US citizens commit #crimes far in excess of crimes committed by #immigrants. He refuses to even allow her to enter the title of the article. This is #censorship. This is #oppression. This is #WhiteMaleSupremacy. F*** Comer & f*** #HouseRepublicans.

From the article: "WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans in Congress are taking aim at four cities — often called “sanctuary cities” — over their policies limiting cooperation with immigration enforcement with a hearing this week that comes as President Donald Trump presses ahead with his campaign of mass deportations.
"Mayors Michelle Wu of Boston, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Mike Johnston of Denver and Eric Adams of New York are set to appear Wednesday in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
"There’s no strict definition for sanctuary policies or sanctuary cities, but the terms generally describe limited cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE enforces U.S. immigration laws nationwide but seeks state and local help, particularly for large-scale deportations, requesting that police and sheriffs alert them to people it wants to deport and hold them until federal officers take custody."

Republicans target Denver, 3 other 'sanctuary' cities as Trump pushes mass deportations
Aurora, a 'city of some 400,000 people is not overrun by a Venezuelan gang'
The DoJ sued IL & Chicago saying officials have been “minimally enforcing - and oftentimes affirmatively thwarting — federal immigration laws over a period of years.” Congress is likely to take up bill HR 32 that effectively coerces cities and states into cooperating with federal immigration enforcement

#ICE made an arrest in #TompkinsCounty. #DOJ is mad #Ithaca affirmed #SanctuaryCities status. Idiot #MAGA rep #NickLangworthy says "no one in Western #NewYork voted for #SanctuaryCity policies".
They were in campaign ads and are why Ithaca protects immigrant rights.
The #Trump #DOJ sued the state of #Illinois & the city of #Chicago on Thurs, accusing them of impeding the Trump admin’s #immigration policies. The department seeks a court order to bar #protections for #immigrants that exist at the #state & local level.
…Acting deputy AG #EmilBove [& Trump criminal defense atty] warned in a memo during the first days of the Trump admin that officials in so-called #SanctuaryCities could face #legal action if they undermine federal immigration laws.
Migration is a foundational part of human history. JSTOR Daily has created this @Flipboard Storyboard, On the Move, which collates its reporting on the subject, covering everything from the history of sanctuary cities (they date back to the Bible) to how the language of disease and contagion has been used to stigmatize immigrants.

Immigration and child advocacy groups in Texas say recent policy changes under President Donald Trump will harm mixed-status families and children.
Hmm von #SanctuaryCities hab ich schon lang nicht mehr gehört aber war eigentlich immer ein aktuelles Thema. In den USA jetzt aber besonders. Chicago versteht sich schon lange ausdrücklich als #SanctuaryCity.
Chicagos Stadtverwaltung hat noch einmal klar gemacht, dass ihre Polizeibehörde sich nicht an den von Trumps angekündigten Massenabschiebungen beteiligen wird.
In Deutschland auch #SolidarischeStaedte genannt. Das ist wohl auch ein Konzept das bei der Einführung der #Bezahlkarte relevant sein könnte...
Woke up to some decent news. Our local public school board will not comply with ICE. And so far we are still a sanctuary city. #allarewelcome #sanctuarycities #noICE #immigrantsareus #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #SecondGenerationImmigrant #fuckfascism #WeWillNotComply
…Eun Young Choi, another deputy asst AG in the #NationalSecurity division, & Bruce Swartz, a longtime deputy in the #criminal division who focuses on international affairs, also were removed from their posts & reassigned elsewhere…
Choi was also assigned to the #SanctuaryCities office….Swartz, who has been in the #DOJ >30 years & has served as deputy asst AG of international affairs most of that time, was effectively demoted to be the deputy of the Office of Prosecutorial Development & Training…
