So, like, the Trump administration is really going all out in its fight against Democratic-led states and cities over immigration stuff, you know? They’re saying the president is gonna sign some fancy executive orders to get law enforcement all riled up and chasing after criminals. And get this – they’re gonna publish a list of those so-called “sanctuary cities” that don’t play nice with immigration agents.
The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was all like, “Yo, this executive order is all about keeping American communities safe from criminal aliens.” She went on to say that the president just wants to enforce immigration laws, but he keeps hitting roadblocks left and right. She’s like, “We’re gonna keep on truckin’ with this whole mass deportation thing.”
According to Leavitt, the order will tell the attorney general and the Homeland Security secretary to make a list of state and local places that are blocking federal immigration law enforcement. She’s like, “Just follow the law, respect the law, and don’t get in the way of those federal immigration folks when they’re just trying to kick out the bad guys from our communities.”
Trump is all about immigration these days, gearing up for his 2024 election campaign and all. The White House even put up a bunch of mug shots on their lawn of people caught by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The signs above the pics read “ARRESTED” and listed the crimes they supposedly did, like murder and stuff.
After signing these executive orders, Leavitt says Trump will have signed over 140 of them in just three months. She’s like, “That’s almost as many as Biden signed in four years, ya know?” But the administration is already hitting legal bumps trying to go after those sanctuary cities.
Last week, a judge in California shut down the administration’s plan to cut funds to San Francisco and other cities that don’t cooperate with immigration enforcement. The judge said Trump’s orders were unconstitutional and told them to back off from messing with federal funds.
Some dude from the LA City Council was like, “Trump’s just trying to scare us into following his rules, but we ain’t having it.” Cali is a big player in this whole immigration mess, with tons of undocumented folks living there.
After Trump won in November, Gov. Gavin Newsom came up with a plan to help undocumented immigrants and set aside money for legal battles against the administration. LA even passed a law to keep city employees from getting involved in federal immigration stuff.
The Trump team is suing Rochester, NY, for its sanctuary city rules, saying they go against the Constitution. And they even arrested a judge in Milwaukee for getting in the way of an immigration arrest. Leavitt was asked if they’d lock up a judge or Supreme Court justice, and she was like, “Anyone breaking the law is fair game, no exceptions.”
So yeah, the Trump administration is really shaking things up when it comes to immigration enforcement. But who knows how all this will play out in the end, you know? It’s a wild ride, for sure.
