Louisville finally did the right thing and dropped their dangerous sanctuary city policies. The city caved after strong pressure from the Trump administration’s Department of Justice. This is a huge victory for law and order and our national security.
The Justice Department warned Louisville they would face serious legal trouble if they kept ignoring immigration detainers. Mayor Greenberg folded quickly when faced with real consequences. He knew the city couldn’t afford to lose federal funding or fight the feds in court.
For years, Louisville put illegal immigrants above American citizens. Their old policy gave barely any notice to ICE officials. This made it easy for criminal aliens to slip back onto our streets. It was a reckless policy that endangered every law-abiding resident.
Now, Louisville will honor 48-hour detainers like they did before 2017. This gives ICE enough time to pick up illegal immigrants arrested for crimes. It’s common sense and what every city should be doing to protect citizens.
The Trump administration is getting results where others failed. They’re forcing liberal cities to follow immigration laws. This proves strong leadership works. Other sanctuary cities should take note before they face similar pressure.
Louisville’s mayor admitted the change was about money. He didn’t want to risk losing federal grants. This shows liberal politicians only respond when it hits their wallets. They don’t actually care about safety until it costs them something.
This victory should be a model nationwide. The DOJ is using every tool to make cities comply with immigration enforcement. It’s about time someone stood up to these lawless sanctuary policies that put Americans at risk.
We need to keep fighting until every city honors ICE detainers. No more safe havens for criminals who break our laws. Louisville’s surrender is a win for every American who believes in secure borders and the rule of law.
