Officials in several U.S. communities labeled “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants say the feds have it wrong, and they fear losing funding under a new directive from President Trump. “We notify [immigration officials] all along the way when we arrest someone, and we contact [immigration officials] to verify their status. “We are not a sanctuary county. DHS officials say the Trump administration will establish its criteria for what constitutes a sanctuary city, county, or state. Vic DeLuca, the mayor of Maplewood, N.J., which has an ordinance declaring itself a sanctuary city, says the concept of sanctuary communities has been distorted by Trump and others who oppose it.
