Trump 'sanctuary jurisdictions' list; Wisconsin communities named
The Brief The Trump administration released a new list of what it calls "sanctuary jurisdictions." Two Wisconsin cities and two Wisconsin counties were named. The administration claims the communities are not complying with federal immigration enforcement efforts. MILWAUKEE - The Trump administration has released a new list of what it calls "sanctuary jurisdictions," which it claims are not complying with federal immigration enforcement efforts. Here's which Wisconsin communities were named. Local perspective More than 500 communities across the U.S. were put on the "sanctuary jurisdictions" list that was released this week. In Wisconsin, those jurisdictions include the cities of Milwaukee and Madison as well as Dane and Shawano counties. FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android Dig deeper Among the most confusing aspects of the list: several jurisdictions with no known sanctuary policies were included. Shawano County, for instance, believes it may have been added by mistake. County administrator Jim Davel said the only policy vote in recent years was to become a "Second Amendment Sanctuary County" opposing gun control laws – unrelated to immigration. Other unexpected names include Alexandria, Virginia, and Huntington Beach, California – both communities with histories of cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. What they're saying According to the Department of Homeland Security, the list was created using several factors, including whether a jurisdiction self-identifies as a sanctuary, limits information-sharing with ICE, or offers legal protections to undocumented immigrants. DHS said the list will be updated regularly. There's no legal definition for the term. Generally, it refers to a city, county, or state that limits local cooperation with federal immigration authorities, particularly ICE. The concept has historical roots in the "sanctuary movement" of the 1980s, when religious institutions sheltered Central American refugees fleeing civil wars. Today, many cities adopt these policies to promote public safety, arguing that undocumented residents are more likely to report crimes if they don't fear deportation. Dig deeper César García Hernández, a law professor at Ohio State University, said the practice has evolved but continues to reflect a divide between local and federal priorities. "There was no legal guarantee of immunity," he said, "but there was policy." But critics say the methodology is unclear. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports stricter immigration enforcement, said the lack of documentation undermines the list's credibility. "That's one thing that I feel is missing from the list – some documentation as to why they're appearing on the list," she said. Nithya Nathan-Pineau, an attorney with the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, called the list arbitrary: "It seems quite arbitrary because not all of these states or specific jurisdictions have a policy that limits cooperation with ICE."

67-year-old Frisco man sentenced to 70 years in prison for continuous child sex abuse
A 67-year-old Frisco man will spend the rest of his life in prison for the continuous sexual abuse of children over a seven-year period, the Collin County District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday. One of the victims was just 5 years old when the abuse began. Billy Bob Dunfield was sentenced to 70 years in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child and indecency with a child of two separate children, officials said. Mother of victim uncovers years of abuse The mother of one of the victims told police about the abuse of her child after discovering text messages her child had sent to a friend. A second victim was found and testified about suffering similar abuse. Both victims were interviewed at the Collin County Children's Advocacy Center, where they described the abuse in graphic detail. According to a news release by the Collin County DA's Office, the victims were manipulated into removing their clothing for "massages," and Dunfield would commit repeated acts of sexual abuse. When a search warrant was executed at Dunfield's home, law enforcement found a massage table, oils and other physical evidence that matched the testimony of the victims. Collin County DA's Office Dunfield was convicted in 2005 for child pornography During the investigation, the Frisco Police Department said, detectives learned that Dunfield lied to the victims' guardians about his past 2005 conviction and sentence for possession of sexually explicit visual depictions of minors. Dunfield was required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, but he told the victims' guardians that he was wrongly convicted, officials said. "This predator conned his way into kids' lives, abused them for years, and though he'd get away with it again," Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said. Following the trial, the jury delivered the maximum sentence in the case. "Predators don't stop on their own. This case proves it," Willis said. "Thanks to the courage of these children and the work of our multidisciplinary team, he'll never touch another child again – and we urge parents and guardians to stay vigilant and speak up if something feels wrong."
