Trump's Plans to Outlaw Sanctuary Cities Nationwide

In a bold move, former President Donald Trump has announced plans to outlaw sanctuary cities nationwide, declaring that the federal government will exert its influence over any jurisdiction that fails to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Joined by Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, discussions emphasize the role of local police in combating rising crime rates associated with these cities. Tuberville expressed urgency on the matter, citing previous attempts to strip sanctuary cities of federal funding that were stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The mounting costs of maintaining these cities are estimated to near $200 billion, prompting Tuberville to label the situation as a financial drain on American taxpayers. An alarming report highlights a Venezuelan gang’s foothold in New York, escalating calls for police and political accountability. Furthermore, concerns about foreign ownership of farmland near military bases have surfaced, as Chinese investments pose risks to national security. With 150,000 U.S. farms lost in recent years exacerbated by government policies favoring imports, both Trump and Tuberville have voiced their intent to reverse these trends to protect American interests. They also underscored the importance of supporting domestic technology companies against foreign competition as the landscape shifts towards globalism.
