"President Donald Trump on Jan. 25 signed an executive order directing the federal government to ensure that jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with immigration officials are not eligible to receive some federal grants.
"These jurisdictions have caused immeasurable harm to the American people and to the very fabric of our Republic," Trump said in the executive order. Trump made illegal immigration a central issue of his campaign.
On Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the Justice Department would require cities seeking some of $4.1 billion available in grant money to verify that they are in compliance with a section of federal law that allows information sharing with immigration officials."
