President Trump on Monday used a tweet by one of his outspoken celebrity critics to promote the administration’s plan to transport detained immigrants to sanctuary cities and release them there as a way to punish his political enemies.“I Understand Helping struggling Immigrants,” she tweeted in her trademark style. “But MY CITY ISNT TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN. WHAT ABOUT THE 50,000 [U.S.] Citizens WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS.
“This was just a suggestion that was floated and rejected, which ended any further discussion,” a White House official told the Washington Post on Friday. “We’ll bring them to sanctuary city areas and let that particular area take care of it, whether it’s a state or whatever it might be,” Trump told reporters on Friday. “California certainly is always saying ‘Oh, we want more people,’ and they want more people in their sanctuary cities — well, we’ll give them more people. We can give them a lot. We can give them an unlimited supply and let’s see if they’re so happy.
Those areas have been a target since the early days of the Trump administration, when he signed an executive order attempting to deny funding to jurisdictions that did not cooperate with federal immigration officials. The order was blocked by a federal judge.
