This action was part of a policy initiated under an executive order by President Donald trump,which aimed to label cities that were noncompliant with federal immigration laws. Within days of its publication, the list was removed from the DHS website, citing that the page may have been moved or deleted.<\/p>\n<p>Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the existence of the list but did not address its removal. Some cities have contested their designations, arguing that they do not meet the criteria for being labeled as sanctuaries. National Sheriffs&#8217; Association President Kieran Donahue criticized the list&#8217;s creation, stating it undermined trust between law enforcement agencies and could hinder cooperation in enforcing the law. the Trump administration&#8217;s policy threatens jurisdictions on the list with a loss of federal grants and contracts. The controversy around the list continues to generate notable public and political discourse.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">DHS takes list of sanctuary cities offline<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2135698\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security has removed its publicized list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3426879\/dhs-sanctuary-jurisdictions-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"500 sanctuary cities \">500 sanctuary cities<\/a> allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3410867\/arlington-county-ice-board-working-to-prevent-police-from-cooperating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"impeding\">impeding<\/a> federal immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Each city received a notice that it was considered noncompliant per an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/04\/protecting-american-communities-from-criminal-aliens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"executive order\">executive order<\/a> by President Donald Trump that demanded such a list.

President Trump and I will always put the safety of the American people first. Sanctuary politicians are on notice: comply with federal law.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>National Sheriffs&rsquo; Association President Kieran Donahue called the list a &ldquo;disservice&rdquo; to the 3,000 elected sheriffs his organization represents in a statement Saturday. He predicted the list would result in a &ldquo;vacuum of trust&rdquo; that would take years to repair.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This list was created without any input, criteria of compliance, or a mechanism for how to object<br \/>to the designation. Sheriffs nationwide have no way to know what they must do or not do to avoid this arbitrary label,&rdquo; Donahue said. &ldquo;The completion and publication of this list has not only violated the core principles of trust, cooperation, and partnership with fellow law enforcement, but it also has the potential to strain the relationship between Sheriffs and the White House administration. This is an unfortunate and unnecessary erosion of unity and collaboration with law enforcement and the enforcement of the rule of law at a time when that unity is needed most.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3425357\/bowser-dc-budget-sanctuary-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BOWSER REPEALS DC&rsquo;S SANCTUARY CITY PRINCIPLES IN 2026 BUDGET <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> reached out to the DHS for comment.<\/p>\n<p>These jurisdictions stand to lose their federal grants and contracts by appearing on the list, per Trump&rsquo;s order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_2135698\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"2135698\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DHS removes its list of 500 sanctuary cities hindering immigration enforcement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2631,"featured_media":2441652,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AP25029759489647.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[7492,50371,36382,56347,36985],"class_list":["post-2441651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-dhs","tag-government-news","tag-immigration-policy","tag-online-information","tag-sanctuary-cities"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AP25029759489647.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2441651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2631"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2441651"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2441651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2441655,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2441651\/revisions\/2441655"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2441652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2441651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2441651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2441651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
