“Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities,” Trump said. Trump has staked his presidency on his insistence that the United States is being overrun by migrants and asylum seekers. Otherwise, he warned, he’ll order migrants to be dumped on the sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities are places where local authorities — usually Democratic-run — have refused to hand over undocumented immigrants for deportation. “This was just a suggestion that was floated and rejected, which ended any further discussion,” a White House statement said.
