Moving thousands of immigration detainees to Democratic strongholds would require massive transportation infrastructure. Sanctuary city mayors wave it off as a bluff.
Central American migrants, part of a caravan hoping to reach the U.S. border, walk on the shoulder of a road in Ciudad Hidalgo, Mexico, on Friday. President Trump wants to arrest migrants at the border and send them to “sanctuary cities.” Should President Trump follow through on a proposal to release migrants in U.S. “sanctuary cities,” it would be a major departure from the way federal agencies are handling detainees.
President Trump told the National Association of Attorneys General on March 4 to make sure their “states and cities are fully cooperating with the Department of Homeland Security.” The idea, DHS officials said, seemed predicated on the belief that an influx of migrants would be a burden to sanctuary cities. Trump has long maintained that killers, rapists and drug dealers are streaming across the border and that releasing migrants into U.S. society is a security risk.
“Fine by me,” he said on Twitter, firing back at Trump. “But does he realize that the moment after people get ‘placed’ they’ll start moving to wherever they want to go? Every city has an open border.” Congress has allocated billions of dollars for this system, and none of it involves transporting immigrants to sanctuary cities — which some say makes the president’s plan illegal.
After heeding Albence’s advice not to pursue the idea, the White House went back to DHS in February to try again. Legal advisers rejected it. Jeanie Nguyen, 18, who supports sanctuary cities, argues with Roslyn La Liberte, 64, outside of the Los Alamitos City Hall in California last year. On the campaign trail in 2016, Trump said blocking funding for sanctuary cities would be a top priority, saying at the time: “Cities that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer dollars, and we will work with Congress to pass legislation to protect those jurisdictions that do assist federal authorities.
