President Donald Trump issued a fiery statement on Truth Social today, vowing to withhold all federal funding from cities and states that maintain sanctuary policies. In the post, Trump described sanctuary cities as “death traps” that “protect the criminals, not the victims,” accusing them of disgracing the nation and drawing international ridicule.“We are working on papers to withhold all federal funding,” Trump wrote, signaling a potential policy move.
His comments sparked immediate backlash from immigration advocates, who argue that sanctuary policies foster community trust and safety. This latest post also reignites a long-standing debate over the legality and morality of sanctuary jurisdictions.
