The Trump administration is threatening to sue and withhold federal funds from more than 20 “sanctuary” states, cities and counties, because of their lack of cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
The new list, released Aug. 5 by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Public Affairs, includes three states and one city in New England: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont and Boston, Massachusetts.
[Attorney General Bondi said in a statement,] “The Department of Justice will continue bringing litigation against sanctuary jurisdictions and work closely with the Department of Homeland Security to eradicate these harmful policies around the country.”
