Trump who was speaking during his campaign in North Carolina on Saturday, September 21, 2024, stated that when elected as president, he would be calling on Congress to pass legislation that will ban Sanctuary cities.

Trump plans on making this move one of his early moves to oversee once he wins power, “As soon as I take office, we will immediately surge federal law enforcement to every city that is failing, which is a lot of them, to turn over criminal aliens,’ Trump said, adding that “and we will hunt down, capture every single gang member, drug dealer, rapist, murderer, and migrant criminal that is being illegally harbored.”

“I will ask Congress to pass a law outlawing sanctuary cities nationwide, and we demand the full weight of the federal government on any jurisdiction that refuses to cooperate with [Immigration and Customs Enforcement],” he continued.

Sanctuary cities are communities in that have adopted policies that limit their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. These localities frequently choose not to inquire about people’s immigration statuses or aid with federal deportation attempts, providing some protection to undocumented immigrants in their jurisdiction.

Sanctuary towns aim to establish trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement, encouraging illegal people to report crimes without fear of being deported.

The issue of immigration has been a flashpoint in the 2024 election, particularly after Trump and his Republican running mate, JD Vance, made misleading allegations about Haitian migrants in Ohio, including inaccurate statements about eating pets.

Their comments about Haitian migrants have also sparked criticism from local Republicans.

“They’re very hurtful. It’s very hurtful to people,” DeWine told anchor Chris Cuomo. “It’s hurtful to the people in Springfield, hurtful to the Haitians who are working every day.”

DeWine stated that he held a brunch with employers of local Haitian migrants, and “they said they work very hard. They’re very focused. They’re family oriented.”

“It’s hurtful for them, very, very much, and some of them are afraid,” he continued.
