Trump Pledges to Eliminate Sanctuary Cities Nationwide

During a rally in North Carolina, Trump announced plans to surge federal law enforcement and seek congressional support to ban sanctuary cities.

Donald Trump, speaking at a rally in Wilmington, NC, vowed to end sanctuary cities across the United States if elected president.
Trump promised to deploy federal law enforcement to cities that do not cooperate with ICE to capture and deport criminal aliens.
He called on Congress to pass legislation that would outlaw sanctuary cities nationwide.
Sanctuary cities are municipalities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, often refusing to share individuals' immigration statuses or comply with ICE detainer requests.
