#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.
…#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.
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 #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.

…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…
#TomHoman has tried to draw attention to the so-called #SanctuaryCities. In November, he suggested that he would ramp up the number of federal #immigration officers in those areas.
“New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, the major cities in this country are still sanctuary cities,” Homan said then, adding, “If they’re not going to help us, then we’ll just double the manpower in those cities.”
For #Trump, the *optics* of #immigration agents sporting ballistic gear & arresting immigrants with uncertain or contested status in a #Democratic-led city could be enough. The incoming admin is eager to find ways to send a message that it is cracking down on undocumented immigrants & punishing so-called #SanctuaryCities — communities like #Chicago that refuse to hand over immigrants detained by the police to federal immigration authorities.
