ICE Workplace Raids vs. Sanctuary Cities

A surge in worksite enforcement and removal operations has drawn sharp pushback from sanctuary jurisdictions that bar local police from holding people for ICE. The Justice Department is suing; cities are countersuing.

Republican Corner · GOP

Local Trust

There is one immigration law and it should be enforced everywhere

Sanctuary policies let dangerous individuals slip back into communities and signal that federal law is optional. Enforcement deters illegal entry and protects American workers.

Rule of Law

Mayors don't get to opt out of federal statutes. Selective enforcement breeds contempt for the entire system.

Worker Wages

Off-the-books labor undercuts blue-collar Americans' wages and benefits. Workplace enforcement levels the playing field.

Public Safety

ICE detainers on people already arrested for serious crimes are a basic safety tool — releasing them back into the public is reckless.

Enforce the Law

Local cops doing ICE's job makes everyone less safe

When victims and witnesses fear deportation, they stop calling 911. Sanctuary policies are cold-eyed public safety, not partisan posturing.

Police Chiefs Agree

Major-city police chiefs — left, right, and apolitical — say cooperation collapses when residents fear local police are an arm of immigration enforcement.

Federalism Goes Both Ways

Conservatives celebrate state autonomy on guns, abortion, and education. Local control on policing priorities is the same principle.

Workplace Raids Hurt Citizens Too

Raids leave U.S.-citizen kids without parents at the school gate and gut businesses that took years to build.
