Trump slams sanctuary cities after court rules against penalizing them

Trump on Thursday argued sanctuary cities are making America less safe in the wake of a court ruling that blocked his administration from limiting grant funding for such jurisdictions.

“Sanctuary Cities released at least 142 gang members across the United States, making it easy for them to commit all forms of violent crimes where none should have existed.”

“We are doing a great job of law enforcement, but things such as this make safety in America difficult!” he added.

The president appeared to be referencing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) statistics reportedly released earlier this week to a Senate committee that showed 142 gang members it sought to deport were released by local law enforcement between Oct. 1, 2016, and June 19, 2017.
