Huntington Beach, California (AP) – State and premises officials castigated the wide -awaited list of the Trump administration of ” sanctuary “The jurisdictions deemed uncooperative with the federal immigration application, with some of the most enthusiastic supporters of the White House wondering on Friday how they ended up.
The list, which has been riddled with spelling mistakes, included not very populated counties which have little interaction with the immigration authorities, who voted for President Donald Trump And who have actively supported its hard -line immigration policies.
In California, the city of Huntington Beach has established the list of hundreds, even if it has filed a complaint contesting the State Immigration Sanctuary and has adopted a resolution this year declaring the community a “non -sanctional city”.
“We have taken deliberate measures to make our non -health position clear,” said the mayor of Huntington Beach, Pat Burns, in a press release, adding that the list must be a “printing error” or a “serious error”.
Meanwhile, those who have policies protecting immigrants have also pushed back, saying that they are properly managed by their communities.
“This is simply the Trump’s last attempt to the Trump Administration to strong arms like Seattle to change our local policies by the fanfaron and threats of critical federal funding for public security and homeless,” said Bruce Harrell, the city mayor, to the Associated Press in an email. “It will not work – the law is on our side – and we will not hesitate to protect our people and defend our values.”
The list has been published while the Trump administration increases efforts to continue the president’s campaign promises to illegally withdraw millions of people in the country. He came out as immigration and customs application announcement The main leadership changes and after a White House official said that the administration wanted to lead to much higher daily immigration arrests.
The administration said that each jurisdiction of the list will receive an official notification that the government has deemed them non -compliant and if they are considered to be in violation of federal criminal laws.
An e-mail was sent on Friday by asking for comments from the DHS.
Some communities do not know why they were included
The list has been compiled using a certain number of factors, especially if the localities have identified as sanctuary jurisdictions, how much they have respected federal officials applying immigration laws, if they had restrictions on the sharing of information with the application of immigration or legal protections for the people of the country illegally, according to the security of the house.
He had the names of several badly spelling communities, including Cincinnati, which was spelled Cincinnatti. In addition, some counties have been poorly labeled as cities and vice versa.
Jim Davel, administrator of the county of Shawano, Wisconsin, said that the inclusion of his community should be an office error. Davel voted for Trump, just like 67% of Shawano County.
“We have no idea how we arrived on this list at this stage,” said Davel. “I think it was just a big mixture, probably documents or something.”
Davel thinks that the administration may have confused the county vote in 2021 to become a “sanctuary county of the second amendment” which prohibits measures to control firearms with a safe refuge for immigrants. He said that the county had not approved any policy of the immigration sanctuary.
In Northern Dakota, seven small rural counties for most rural people found themselves on the list, notably Slope County, which has around 700 people and voted massively for Trump in 2024. County officials contacted the rest of the Republican Governor Kelly Armstrong to see the Comté commission, the chairman of the County Commission Scott Ourdnik.
Jonathan Thompson, Executive Director and CEO of the National Sheriffs’ Association, described the list as “deadly” and criticized the lack of transparency and clear criteria for inclusion.
“Backing and shaping people without fact is a distraction. It is a mistake, it’s a mistake, it’s bad,” said Thompson.
Other communities defend their policies that protect immigrants
Communities argued immigrants said their policies are not only immigrants, but that all residents, taking care that anyone who is a victim or witness considers that they can manifest themselves and report crime.
States like California, Illinois and Washington, which have such policies, are on the list.
In Hartford, Connecticut, the mayor Arunan Arulampalam said that the laws and policies of the capital have strengthened the dynamism and security of the community. The city prohibits people’s immigration status from the habit of refusing city services and the police cannot stop people only due to immigration status.
“Although my administration is focused on laser on real solutions that protect our community, it is clear that current federal policies do not share this commitment to security and threaten to undermine the earnings that we have made,” said Arulampalam in a statement.
Nithya Nathan-Pineau, a legal immigrant lawyer Resource Center, said that it was not clear what criteria were used to formulate the list or define the concept of sanctuary or what legal action provides that the government plans to take against the courts.
“It seems quite arbitrary because all these specific states or jurisdictions do not have a policy that limits cooperation with ice,” said Nathan-Pineau. “It is quite clear that it is another attempt to intimidate and intimidate.”
The Center for Immigration Studies, which supports the limits of immigration, has retained its own list of sanctuary jurisdictions for at least a decade that it frequently updates. It differs from the administration. Jessica Vaughan, director of political studies of the group, questioned the documentation of the administration.
What is a sanctuary jurisdiction?
There is no clear definition of what a sanctuary jurisdiction is, but the term generally applies to the governments of the states and premises which limit cooperation with the federal immigration authorities. He was born in the 1980s with American churches that housed the Americans of the Americans who fled civil wars.
Last month, Trump signed a decree Obligning the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General to publish a list of local states and jurisdictions which they considered as obstructing federal immigration laws. The list must be updated regularly.
The federal departments and agencies, working with the management and budget office, would then be responsible for identifying federal subsidies or contracts with these local states or jurisdictions that the federal government has identified as “jurisdictions of the sanctuary” and to suspend or terminate money, according to the decree.
ICE, which is part of the Ministry of Internal Security, applies immigration laws on a national scale. The agency often seeks national and local aid to alert the federal authorities of immigrants sought for expulsion and hold them until these authorities can take care.
