WASHINGTON, United States – The White House said Sunday it is looking at ways to transfer undocumented migrants to US sanctuary cities as Democrats accused President Donald Trump of creating “manufactured chaos” at the US-Mexico border.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders announced an “extensive review” of the potential plan on ABC’s “This Week” after Trump confirmed press reports that his administration had proposed the controversial move.
So-called sanctuary cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York are among hundreds of mainly Democrat-run jurisdictions across the US that limit cooperation in complying with requests from immigration officials.
“This is an option on the table,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said of the proposal in an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”
Trump “heard the idea, he likes it, so –- well, we’re looking to see if there are options that make it possible and doing a full and thorough and extensive review,” she said.
