Ohio Lawmaker Proposes Defunding Sanctuary Cities in Bid to Boost ICE Cooperation

A Republican lawmaker in Ohio is proposing a bill that would penalize 'sanctuary cities' and boost cooperation between local law enforcement and federal authorities as part of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. The legislation aims to address concerns over the allocation of federal funds and the role of state and local governments in enforcing immigration laws. Under the proposed measure, cities designated as 'sanctuaries' would face reduced funding for law enforcement programs unless they agree to cooperate with federal immigration agencies. The bill is part of a broader push by lawmakers to increase compliance with Trump's immigration policies.
