U.S. President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order on Monday directing the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security to identify, within one month, the cities and states that are not complying with federal immigration laws.
The measure aims to catalog so-called “sanctuary jurisdictions,” which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

The initiative comes just days after a federal judge in San Francisco blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to withhold federal funds from more than a dozen sanctuary cities and counties, including San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland.
In his ruling, Judge William Orrick stated that the executive order likely imposed unconstitutional conditions on federal funding without congressional authorization and violated the due process rights of the localities.

In addition to the order targeting sanctuary jurisdictions, Trump is expected to sign two other executive orders: one related to enhancing communication among law enforcement agencies, and another establishing English proficiency requirements for commercial truck drivers.

Since the beginning of his second term, Trump has intensified efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, deploying troops to the southern border and vowing to deport millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
The administration has also showcased photographs of alleged offenders at the White House, highlighting efforts to bolster the enforcement of immigration laws.

The president’s actions have drawn criticism from immigrant rights advocates and local officials, who argue that such measures could undermine trust between immigrant communities and law enforcement and place additional strain on local resources.
The legality of the executive orders remains under challenge in the courts, and new legal battles are expected in the coming weeks.
