List of ‘sanctuary jurisdictions’ removed from US government website following criticism
A list of more than 500 “sanctuary jurisdictions” no longer appears in the Department of Homeland Security’s website after receiving criticism for including localities that have actively supported the Trump administration’s hard-line immigration policies. The department last week published the list of the jurisdictions. It said each one would receive formal notification that the government has deemed them uncooperative with federal immigration enforcement and whether they’re believed those jurisdictions to be in violation of any federal criminal statutes. The list was published Thursday on the department’s website. By Sunday. there was a “Page Not Found” error message in its place.
