Pro-immigrant activists and many Democrats claim that the policies make communities safer by encouraging illegal immigrants who are victims or witnesses of crime to come forward. “We'd have to talk about things like sanctuary cities, as an example,” Trump said last week in the Oval Office. "I think sanctuary cities is something [that] has to be brought up, where people that are criminals are protected. "I don't think you should have sanctuary cities if they get that kind of aid," he said. "You know, if you're going to get aid to the cities and states of the kind of numbers you're talking about, billions of dollars, I don't think you should have sanctuary cities."
