Democrats condemn Trump plan to send migrants to sanctuary cities as ‘cruelty’
President also criticized over reports he urged CBP chief to close Mexico border, offering a pardon if he broke the law
Democrats have accused Donald Trump’s administration of “cruelty” and using people as political pawns in the wake of reports that presidential aides considered a plan to release migrants in sanctuary cities.
At least twice in the past six months, the White House weighed a plan to pressure US immigration authorities to release people detained at the border in these cities, which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, according to the Washington Post.
