Plan to skewer US sanctuary city mayors backfires on Republicans

"If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms," Boston mayor Michelle Wu said. "Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe."…

Sanctuary cities respond to Trump deportation plans: ‘We’re preparing to defend our communities’

The Trump administration is likely to try to deny federal funds to cities and states to get them to play ball.

"Los Angeles is not a city motivated by hate or fear and we absolutely will not be swayed or moved by petty politicians playing with human lives," Bass said. "For everything that we do, we will continue to lock arms and we will continue to lead. And we will always put people's health and wellbeing over politics."…
