The Trump administration announced it will stop providing federal funding to cities and states that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities on February 1, effectively cutting off payments to sanctuary cities. This move comes as President Donald Trump cited jurisdictions that protect undocumented criminals, claiming they are a 'threat' to public safety. The decision affects several major cities, including New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago, which have implemented policies shielding immigrants from deportation. The measure aims to pressure these jurisdictions into changing their immigration policies.
