Trump to sign executive order on sanctuary cities in violation of federal immigration laws

President Trump will sign an executive order on Monday that will direct his administration to compile a list of sanctuary cities that are in violation of federal immigration laws.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will be directed to “provide a list of sanctuary cities in which local officials are not complying with this federal order and are not complying with federal immigration laws,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday, adding that the published list will include “state and local jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws.”

“It’s quite simple – obey the law, respect the law, and don’t obstruct federal immigration officials and law enforcement officials when they are simply trying to remove public safety threats from our nation’s communities,” said Leavitt said, The according to The Hill newspaper.

Another executive order will be signed by Trump on Monday that will “strengthen and unleash America’s law enforcement to pursue criminals and protect innocent citizens,” Leavitt said.

Trump is expected to sign both orders at 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
