Many have passed ordinances intended to shield migrants from efforts by the incoming Trump administration to eject them from the country.

Summary

Democratic-led cities and states are mobilizing to resist Trump’s planned mass deportations, with measures like sanctuary policies, legal challenges, and public opposition.

Cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia have vowed to shield undocumented residents, and LA’s school district declared itself a migrant sanctuary.

Trump plans to sign executive orders and withhold federal grants to enforce deportations, but legal obstacles are expected, as seen during his first term.

Opponents argue deportations harm communities and families, while Trump allies assert a mandate for strict immigration enforcement.
