US heimatschutz removes list of “sanctuary” cities after sheriffs’ criticism

Source: The Guardian [UK]

“The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) removed a list of ‘sanctuary’ states, cities and counties from its website following sharp criticism from a sheriffs’ association that said a list of ‘noncompliant’ sheriffs could severely damage the relationship between the Trump administration and law enforcement. … Sheriff Kieran Donahue, president of the association, said in a statement on Saturday that DHS published ‘a list of alleged noncompliant sheriffs in a manner that lacks transparency and accountability.’ Donahue said the list was created without input from sheriffs and ‘violated the core principles of trust, cooperation, and partnership with fellow law enforcement.'” (06/01/25)
