Key Points:
- Sanctuary jurisdictions, governed by Democratic local and state laws, prohibit cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, forcing ICE to conduct deportations independently, often leading to confrontations in neighborhoods.
- A heated debate is ongoing in Washington over ICE's future, with progressive Democrats pushing to abolish or defund the agency, while moderates and Republicans warn that eliminating ICE could lead to unchecked illegal immigration.
- The partisan divide is expected to influence the passage of the homeland security funding bill, with moderate Democrats potentially siding with Republicans to support ICE funding, while the Senate's stance remains uncertain.
- Anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis escalated with demonstrators disrupting a church service, actions that likely violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, though
