Trump’s government wanted to retain funds for Sanctuary City

The current administration of the US has an ongoing fight with the Sanctuary Cities that refuse to follow the immigration policies imposed by the President.

Sanctuary Cities are known for sheltering undocumented immigrants and avoiding immigration laws.

These cities protect immigrants from possible deportation or arrest.

Trump’s threat

President Trump made a public threat declaring that he wanted to withhold funds earmarked for public safety in Sanctuary Cities that oppose his immigration laws.

He ensures that undocumented immigrants must be detained to file a legal immigration case or to be deported as soon as possible.

Sanctuary Cities claim that immigrants, whether they are undocumented or have an active process with the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), help maintain a constant balance in the country’s economy and are regularly the main workforce of our society and local markets.

Therefore, this constant battle caused President Trump to take the case to the court.

The Sanctuary City involved

The threat was directed specifically at a Sanctuary City located in Chicago.

This city has had multiple cases in court for not following requests decreed by Trump’s government since 2017.

The President wants the City of Chicago to allow border agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) to enter its territory and detain undocumented immigrants to start deportation processes.

However, the city states that it has the right of “separation of powers” declared by the Constitution of the US.

The US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit’s decision

When President Trump brought the case to court, he hoped the decision would be in his favor.

However, the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit declared that the current government’s threat goes against the laws declared in the country’s Constitution.

The Court ensures that every city in the US has the right to receive monetary funds earmarked for social security and that such investment should never be questioned.

The court has yet to decide other aspects of the president’s requests, however this was the last notification regarding the battle between this Sanctuary City and the current government.
