In a significant move, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to suspend federal funding to sanctuary cities, marking an escalation in the federal government's immigration enforcement efforts. Bondi's directive, issued under President Donald Trump's administration, targets approximately 220 cities nationwide that have sanctuary laws restricting local aid to federal immigration enforcement. This action comes amidst ongoing ICE raids and a recent court ruling affirming federal deportation authority, signaling a broader federal crackdown. • DOJ directive targets sanctuary cities: Federal funding halt aimed at over 220 cities opposing immigration enforcement. • Federal court upholds deportation authority: Ninth Circuit affirms Trump administration's deportation powers, overruling a sanctuary county's challenge. • ICE raids intensify amidst resistance: ICE operations expanded, with focus on deporting public safety threats as sanctuary cities resist.
