Donald Trump on Monday appeared to announce his administration will move forward with a plan to bus undocumented immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed Sunday the administration was “looking to see if there are options that make” Trump’s proposal legally viable and described it as “an option on the table” among other immigration enforcement measures. She argued that sanctuary cities that say their arms are open to immigrants will help ease the burden of communities along the border swamped by a surge in migrants.
Democratic lawmakers and leaders of sanctuary cities quickly responded to Trump's plan over the weekend, decrying the White House's use of migrants as "pawns" and demonizing rhetoric, occasionally calling the idea a waste of resources but largely affirming they would welcome the immigrants. The proposal comes amid a major leadership shake-up at DHS as Trump considers an extensive immigration crackdown. In the span of a few days last week, Trump pulled the nomination of his pick to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Deputy Secretary Claire Grady resigned, and the head of the Secret Service left the administration.
In that time, Trump has also threatened to close the U.S.-Mexico border, an idea he later backed off of after widespread backlash over the potential economic effects. He has also reportedly sought to reinstate his administration’s controversial family separation policy, though he denied doing so. His administration has also considered targeting countries whose citizens most frequently overstay their visas in the U.S.

Trump floats pardon for DHS appointee to follow his orderTrump’s latest threat on immigration is to pressure authorities into releasing migrant detainees into “sanctuary cities”. This is seen by many as an attempt to punish Democrats, and with officials in Trump’s own administration saying that the policy idea was “so illegal”, it was ultimately dropped. Trump also reportedly told the man who would become Acting DHS Secretary to close the border, and that he would pardon him if he were sent to jail for violating immigration law.
