April 28, 2025Sec. 2 of EO 14287, "Protecting American Communities From Criminal Aliens," requires the Attorney General (AG) and the Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) publish a running list of sanctuary States and local jurisdictions. It also requires the AG and DHS notify those sanctuary jurisdictions "regarding [their] defiance of Federal immigration law enforcement and any potential violations of Federal criminal law."
Sec. 3 describes potential consequences for such jurisdictions if they refuse to change their policies. Sec. 3(a) states "the head of each executive department or agency . . . shall identify appropriate Federal funds to sanctuary jurisdictions . . . for suspension or termination. . . ." Sec. 3(b) notes that if any jurisdiction remains a sanctuary jurisdiction after notification, the AG and DHS will "pursue all necessary legal remedies and enforcement measures to end these violations . . . ."
Sec. 1 of the EO says certain State and local actions could violate criminal laws regarding obstruction of justice (18 USC 1501), unlawful harboring or hiring illegal aliens (8 USC 1324), conspiracy against the United States (18 USC 371), and conspiracy to impede Federal law enforcement (18 USC 372), and assisting noncitizens in violating immigration law could violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) (18 USC 1961).
