Trump administration 'sanctuary jurisdictions' list vanishes after pushback from sheriffs
Trump administration 'sanctuary jurisdictions' list vanishes after pushback from sheriffs The president of the National Sheriffs' Association said sheriffs felt 'betrayed' by the list. Show Caption Hide Caption Tallahassee, Florida ICE raid, detained workers speak from bus. ICE raid took place in Tallahassee, Florida, detained workers speak from bus. The list, created following a Trump executive order, aimed to identify jurisdictions hindering federal immigration laws and potentially withhold their funding. Several sheriffs and county officials, including those from Republican-led areas, disputed their inclusion on the list, citing compliance with ICE. After pushback from sheriffs nationwide, a list of "sanctuary jurisdictions" has disappeared from the Department of Homeland Security's website. The list was published last week, about a month after President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to create a list of jurisdictions that have been obstructing federal immigration laws. These jurisdictions would risk their federal funds being terminated or suspended. Greater Cincinnati Republicans were confused after two GOP-controlled counties, Warren County in Ohio and Campbell County in Kentucky, were included on the list. "We have supported ICE's mission since I took office," Warren County Sheriff Barry K. Riley previously told The Enquirer, part of the USA TODAY Network. "They got this wrong." An official in Campbell County told The Enquirer their inclusion on the list was a mistake. Sheriffs and county officials in several other states were also mystified at being deemed noncompliant. Sheriff Kieran Donahue, president of the National Sheriff's Association, released a statement on May 31 saying sheriffs felt "betrayed" by the list. "DHS has done a terrible disservice to President Trump and the Sheriffs of this country. The President's goals to reduce crime, secure the Borders, and make America safer have taken a step backward," the statement read. "In a meeting today called by the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA), with members of DHS, no political appointee for the administration could explain who compiled, proofed, and verified the list before publication." List removed over the weekend The sheriffs' association called on Homeland Security to immediately share the criteria for the list, take it offline and apologize to sheriffs. The list was removed from Homeland Security's website on June 1, according to the Wayback Machine. Sheriff's offices have played a major role in the Trump administration's mass deportation effort by supporting ICE. Across the country, including in Southwest Ohio's Butler County, sheriffs have signed contracts with ICE, allowing agents to use their jails to hold detainees. "This list was created without any input, criteria of compliance, or a mechanism for how to objectto the designation. Sheriffs nationwide have no way to know what they must do or not do toavoid this arbitrary label," the sheriffs' association statement read. The list, which the association blamed on Homeland Security, said "not only violated the core principles of trust, cooperation, and partnership with fellow law enforcement, but it also has the potential to strain the relationship between Sheriffs and the White House administration … This decision by DHS could create a vacuum of trust that may take years to overcome." Cincinnati, a Democrat-controlled city, was also included on the now-deleted list. City council did declare Cincinnati a "sanctuary city" in 2017, but the move was symbolic and did not result in any new policies. After the list was published, Mayor Aftab Pureval told The Enquirer the city would continue to follow federal laws and had not been informed why they were deemed noncompliant.

Homeland Security removes list of ‘sanctuary' cities after pushback; most WA counties listed
Washington state and most of its counties were among a list of more than 500 jurisdictions believed by President Donald Trump's Administration to have impeded the enforcement of federal immigration laws. The list, initially posted on the Department of Homeland Security's website at appears to have been taken down since it was posted. Visitors will get a 'Page Not Found' error. KIRO 7 used an archive website, Wayback Machine, to see what the website initially said. The page read: 'Executive Order 14287: Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens requires that a list of states and local jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of Federal immigration laws (sanctuary jurisdictions) be published. Sanctuary jurisdictions including cities, counties, and states that are deliberately and shamefully obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws endangering American communities. Sanctuary cities protect dangerous criminal aliens from facing consequences and put law enforcement in peril. The list below was created to identify sanctuary jurisdictions, which are determined by factors like compliance with federal law enforcement, information restrictions, and legal protections for illegal aliens. Each jurisdiction listed will receive formal notification of its non-compliance with Federal statutes. DHS demands that these jurisdictions immediately review and revise their policies to align with Federal immigration laws and renew their obligation to protect American citizens, not dangerous illegal aliens. Note that the list can be reviewed and changed at any time and will be updated regularly. No one should act on this information without conducting their own evaluation of the information." Washington state was listed on it, as were all but four counties, and a handful of specific cities. It should be noted that Yakima County itself was not on the list, but the city of Yakima was. The cities of Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Olympia and Yakima were listed. According to Reuters and other national reports, the site was scrubbed following criticism from the National Sheriff's Union, which said that a list of non-compliant' sheriffs could damage the relationship between the Trump administration and law enforcement. The National Sheriffs' Association represents more than 3,000 elected sheriffs across the U.S. and over 10,000 individuals. A letter from the association's president, Kiernan Donahue, from Idaho, said: 'This list was created without any input, criteria of compliance, or a mechanism for how to object to the designation. Sheriffs nationwide have no way to know what they must do or not do to avoid this arbitrary label. The completion and publication of this list has not only violated the core principles of trust, cooperation, and partnership with fellow law enforcement, but it also has the potential to strain the relationship between Sheriffs and the White House administration. This is an unfortunate and unnecessary erosion of unity and collaboration with law enforcement and the enforcement of the rule of law at a time when that unity is needed most. This decision by DHS could create a vacuum of trust that may take years to overcome. DHS has done a terrible disservice to President Trump and the Sheriffs of this country. The President's goals to reduce crime, secure the Borders, and make America safer have taken a step backward. In a meeting today called by the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA), with members of DHS, no political appointee for the administration could explain who compiled, proofed, and verified the list before publication. The NSA believes that the criteria for evaluation used by DHS must be published immediately, and they must provide a legitimate reason to evaluate those not cooperating with ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies. These are not just common-sense efforts; they are urgent necessities. DHS and the Administration should publicly denounce the report to demonstrate accountability. The Sheriffs of this country feel betrayed. The current list must be removed immediately, and DHS must release an apology to the Sheriffs and the American people. The National Sheriffs' Association is one of the largest non-profit associations of law enforcement professionals in the United States, representing more than 3,000 elected sheriffs across the nation, and with a total membership of approximately 10,000 individuals. NSA is dedicated to raising the level of professionalism among sheriffs, their deputies, and others in the field of law enforcement, public safety, and criminal justice. Throughout its eighty-four-year history, NSA has also served as an information resource for all law enforcement, as well as local, state, and federal government agencies.'

Transparency takes a hit as Trump admin blacks out all public remarks, with transcripts now 99.5% redacted
The White House under the Trump administration has quietly pulled nearly all official transcripts of the president's public remarks from its website, effectively erasing nearly 99.5% of the written record of what President Donald Trump has said in office during his second term, as per a report. Trump White House Erases Most Public Record of His Second-Term Remarks According to a May 15 report by HuffPost, Trump's administration had only released just 29 out of 146 transcripts from his first 100 days in office, an unprecedented lack of disclosure compared to previous administrations, including Trump's own first term, reported HuffPost. But sometime between the evening of Saturday, May 17, and Monday, May 19, even that minimal transparency disappeared, as per the report. Videos Replaced Transcripts Instead of transcripts, the White House has replaced the page with a curated collection of videos, just 48 clips in total out of roughly 200 public remarks Trump has made so far, according to HuffPost. The White House also swept away transcripts of Vice President JD Vance and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, HuffPost reported, citing pages preserved by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine tool. This disappearance of official records comes despite the fact that these transcripts are prepared by nonpartisan civil servants and funded by taxpayers, as per HuffPost. No official reason has been provided for the sudden removal of transcripts, as per the report. White House Responds When asked for clarification, the White House did not explain the decision but offered a statement from Leavitt, who highlighted that 'the president's remarks are live on the website for every person in the world, including journalists, to access and watch for themselves. The Trump White House is the most transparent in history,' quoted HuffPost. Official Response Doesn't Match Reality However, that statement doesn't reflect the current reality, as observed by HuffPost. The White House website's 'Remarks' web page now contains only a limited selection of videos, with a curated sample of videos of Trump's remarks, with few of the interactions with news media that tend to generate his most outlandish claims or the events in which he exhibited particularly unhinged behaviour, HuffPost reported. Live Events FAQs What exactly did the Trump White House remove? Nearly all official written transcripts of President Trump's public remarks from his second term, about 99.5% of them. Were transcripts removed for anyone else? Yes, transcripts for Vice President JD Vance and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt were also removed.
