Trump orders construction of border wall, threatens cuts to sanctuary cities

 

Trump orders construction of border wall, threatens cuts to sanctuary cities. President Donald Trump has signed orders to step up immigration enforcement and secure the US border, beginning with building a border wall with Mexico he promised during the campaign. Jurisdictions that harbor illegal immigrants may lose federal funding. The first executive order will order the building of “a large physical barrier on the southern border,” White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters Wednesday. It will also provide the Department of Homeland Security agents “tools and resources to stop illegal immigration from entering the US.” The second order aims to empower Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and “strip federal grant money from sanctuary cities and states that harbor illegal immigrants,” according to Spicer. Federal agencies will “unapologetically enforce the law, no ifs ands or buts,” said the White House spokesman. One of Trump’s key campaign promises was to construct a border wall with Mexico. The new president announced the measures Tuesday using his personal Twitter account.
