On April 28, 2025, the White House issued an executive order (EO) titled Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens. This EO aims to bolster federal immigration enforcement by addressing state and local actions perceived as obstructive to law enforcement. It mandates the identification of “sanctuary jurisdictions” and directs federal agencies to suspend or terminate financial assistance to these jurisdictions while developing systems for verifying eligibility for federal benefits. Additionally, the order seeks to address unlawful state and local laws that may favor aliens over American citizens, focusing on areas such as education and criminal sentencing.
