As part of legislation to pay for President Trump’s domestic agenda, including his immigration crackdown, House Republicans want to impose or increase fees for legal entry into the United States.
The president plans to direct his administration to compile a list of “sanctuary cities” that do not cooperate with federal enforcement of immigration laws.

A federal judge in San Francisco who issued a nearly identical order in 2017 found himself intervening again to stop President Trump from punishing cities over their immigration policy.
