Dear IMLA Immigration Working Group:

I am still reviewing various Executive Orders, but the Executive Order entitled "Protecting the American People Against Invasion" does specifically mention so-called "sanctuary jurisdictions" and directs the withholding of federal funds from these jurisdictions.  See in particular Sec 17.  (Though several other sections are relevant as well including 6, 11, and 18).  https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-american-people-against-invasion/

If you have identified other relevant executive orders to local governments in the immigration area please flag them for me or the group.

Thanks,
Amanda
