President Trump said he plans to cut all federal funding to cities and states that restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities, according to The Wall Street Journal. Trump criticized sanctuary cities on social media, claiming they protect criminals, disgrace the country, and are mocked globally. Sanctuary cities, including New York, Chicago, Boston, and Denver, restrict officials from holding suspects beyond their release dates solely due to immigration status. Trump did not clarify the scope of the proposed funding cut.
