Trump calls on Congress to pass legislation ending sanctuary policies: The president also called on Democratic leaders to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

In a Sunday evening Truth Social post, Trump wrote that he was “calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities” and asking for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and all Democratic mayors and governors “to formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence.”

In his post, Trump asked the leaders to turn over all unauthorized immigrants with an active warrant or known criminal history — in addition to those currently held in state jails, prisons and by local police — to federal authorities for immediate deportation. He also demanded they agree to assist federal law enforcement in their nationwide immigration crackdown.
