Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated on Fox News that she would take action against sanctuary city mayors defying federal immigration laws if President Trump directs her to do so. She emphasized that nobody is above the law and that she follows the President’s guidance.

Noem criticized sanctuary city policies, claiming they hinder federal operations and protect criminals.

Meanwhile, Trump signed the “Laken Riley Act,” a key immigration reform mandating detention of immigrants accused of crimes like theft or shoplifting. The law, named after a slain nursing student, passed with bipartisan support, signaling a shift in immigration policy under Trump’s administration.
