How to Break the Sanctuary States

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

75% : The good news is that Trump will have the legal tools to act and succeed.
62% : Trump will want to move fast.
56% : The visa pause should continue until ICE certifies the return to full cooperation of all state and local authorities on all deportation matters.
54% : This steady stream of foreign students represents the Achilles' heel of California, New York and Massachusetts -- all three states representing major redoubts for non-cooperation with ICE.
51% : Similar situations are playing out with foreign scofflaws all across big-city America.
48% : These 13 "nullifying" states, as well as many other local government authorities all across the country, have adopted laws, rules, or policies that impede or prohibit all cooperation with ICE.
48% : Jessica Vaughan from the Center for Immigration Studies has extensively researched the matter and explains:These cities, counties, and states have laws, ordinances, regulations, resolutions, policies, or other practices that obstruct immigration enforcement and shield criminals from ICE -- either by refusing to or prohibiting agencies from complying with ICE detainers, imposing unreasonable conditions on detainer acceptance, denying ICE access to interview incarcerated aliens, or otherwise impeding communication or information exchanges between their personnel and federal immigration officers.
48% : They are nullifying federal law that requires state and local government authorities to cooperate with ICE (see 8 U.S Code § 1373).
48% : In those states that do cooperate with ICE, but have non-cooperating counties and cities, U.S. visa officials can target specific schools and universities.
45% : But ICE cannot implement large deportation efforts without the full cooperation of state and local authorities.
42% : Therefore, Trump should instruct his consular corps at U.S. embassies and consulates to cease issuing visas to all students seeking to enroll in universities in all 13 sanctuary states.
40% : Some non-liberal states, such as Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky and Nebraska, are tolerating their own left-wing counties and cities that refuse to cooperate with ICE.
39% : When it becomes clear, after the arrest, that a suspect foreigner has no right to be in the country, sanctuary government authorities simply refuse to notify ICE to ensure the illegal will not be deported.
36% : The result of this unconstitutional non-cooperation is that ICE is unable to deport many thousands of dangerous criminal foreigners who are allowed to remain in the country to commit more crimes.
35% : There are over a million illegals who already face federal deportation orders, and ICE, under the next Trump-run Department of Homeland Security, will begin by focusing on this dangerous illegal population group.
32% : Invoking the spirit of Andy Jackson, Trump must be prepared to hit back hard against these unconstitutional policies on Day 1.
15% : "In 2025, at the start of his second term, President Donald Trump must break the 13 states that currently shield foreign criminals from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
