Protecting American Communities From Criminal Aliens

On April 28, 2025, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14287, aimed at curbing the influence of "sanctuary jurisdictions" that obstruct federal immigration law enforcement. The order mandates the identification and penalization of states and localities that defy federal immigration laws, potentially withholding federal funds from these areas and pursuing legal action to enforce compliance. This executive action could intensify tensions between federal and local governments, raising legal and political debates over states' rights and federal authority in immigration matters.
