On Monday, January 20, 2025, Donald Trump crushed Joe Biden’s legacy.
Biden had issued an order to protect illegal immigrants in certain “sensitive” areas, but Donald Trump just tossed it in the shredder.
The move will likely be challenged by sanctuary cities who are hoping to protect Donald Trump’s purge of illegals in this country.
No Safe Spaces
Biden’s initial order protected illegals at institutions like schools, hospitals, and churches.
This is a rule that is in place in most sanctuary cities as well.
Donald Trump rolled back the protections, so now ICE can arrest illegals wherever they find them.
Sanctuary city mayors are now panicking, hoping to pass formal legislation to stop Trump, but this is all likely to wind up before the Supreme Court at some point.
Trump has challenged sanctuary city laws before, but it fell short of going before the Supreme Court after the court declined to hear the case.
Donald Trump ran on a strong immigration plan, and this was a key issue in the 2024 presidential election, so it was clearly very important to most voters.
These new policies are going to be strongly rejected by Democrats, but the people have clearly spoken on this issue.
Trump has also stated that he is looking at ways to go after Democrat mayors who try to block ICE from deporting illegals, especially criminal illegal immigrants who have been arrested and released without ICE being notified.
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has already gone to work, tracking down and arresting hundreds of illegals on his first day.
But, as I noted, Dems are going to legally challenge Trump at some point, and I would suspect that will be sooner rather than later.
