2020年4月28日，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在DC华盛顿白宫东厅发表演讲。-特朗普谈到在冠状病毒大流行期间通过薪酬保护计划支持小企业。
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)周二表示，他的政府将坚持要求各州禁止庇护城市，并做出其他未具体说明的让步，以此作为在下一轮冠状病毒救援计划中获得联邦援助的条件。
在白宫东厅举行的一次活动中，奥巴马总统强调了受《关爱法案》薪酬保护计划影响的小企业，他告诉记者，他已经与财政部长史蒂文·姆努钦、众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡和参议院多数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔讨论了此事。 并表示他和国会共和党人并不“希望恢复25年来糟糕的管理并给他们失去的钱”，因为这将“对其他州不公平”，但后来承认:“我想我们可以讨论一下”如果这样的援助计划与COVID-19大流行有关。
“但我们也想要某些东西，包括避难所城市的调整，因为我们在避难所城市有这么多的人，我甚至不认为他们受欢迎，即使是激进的左翼人士，”特朗普继续说道。“现在发生的事情是，人们正在受到本不应该受到保护的保护，很多不好的事情正在避难所城市发生。”
他补充说，除了在避难所城市问题上的让步，他的政府还希望“与我们稍后可以讨论的其他不同观点有所关联”
特朗普及其政府成员经常抱怨避难所城市——当地警方不询问被逮捕者的移民身份或不与移民当局合作的城市——阻碍了他逮捕和驱逐非法在美国的人的努力。
执法专家表示，让当地警方根据移民身份拘留人或配合移民执法的做法是必要的，因为移民社区的人通常会拒绝举报针对他们的犯罪或配合警方的调查，因为害怕被驱逐出境。
但特朗普在2016年总统竞选期间经常谴责这种做法，他试图在宣誓就任总统几天后强迫各州和城市停止这种做法。他的第一个行政命令针对的就是这样的司法管辖区，宣布任何拒绝与移民执法部门合作的州或地方政府都没有资格获得联邦拨款，除非被认为是执法所必需的。
洛杉矶的一名联邦法官颁布了一项全国性禁令，禁止强制执行该命令，他认为这违反了宪法。然而，2019年7月，第九巡回上诉法院的一个由三名法官组成的陪审团裁定，特朗普政府可以在一个项目中授予那些宣布移民执法为优先事项或承诺与移民当局合作的城市更多的“积分”，这些城市允许他们进入当地监狱，并提前发出通知，让他们释放国内任何非法入境者。
TRUMP SAYS CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUNDING FOR STATES COULD DEPEND ON ENDING SANCTUARY CITIES
US President Donald Trump speaks in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on April 28, 2020. - Trump spoke about supporting small businesses during the coronavirus pandemic through the Paycheck Protection Program.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said his administration would insist that states ban sanctuary cities and make other unspecified concessions as a condition of receiving federal aid in the next coronavirus relief package.
While speaking in the White House East Room at an event to highlight small businesses impacted by the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program, the president told reporters he had discussed the matter with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and said that he and congressional Republicans were not "looking to recover 25 years of bad management and to give them the money that they lost" because it would be "unfair to other states," but later conceded: "I guess we can talk about it" if such an aid package was related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"But we'd want certain things also, including sanctuary city adjustments, because we have so many people in sanctuary cities, which I don't even think are popular, even by radical left folks," Trump continued. "What's happening is people are being protected that shouldn't be protected and a lot of bad things are happening with sanctuary cities."
He added that in addition to concessions on sanctuary cities, his administration would want "something having to do with other different points that we can discuss later on."
Trump and members of his administration have frequently complained that sanctuary cities—cities where local police do not inquire about arrestees' immigration status or cooperate with immigration authorities—have impeded his efforts to arrest and deport people who are in the U.S. illegally.
Law enforcement experts say the practice of having local police detain people based on immigration status or cooperate with immigration enforcement is necessary because people in immigrant communities will often refuse to report crimes against them or cooperate with police investigations for fear of being targeted for deportation.
But Trump, who often railed against the practice during his 2016 presidential campaign, attempted to coerce states and cities to end the practice just days after being sworn in as president. One of his first executive orders targeted such jurisdictions by declaring that any state or local government that declined to cooperate with immigration enforcement was not "eligible to receive federal grants, except as deemed necessary for law enforcement purposes."
A federal judge in Los Angeles imposed a nationwide injunction against enforcement of the order, which he deemed unconstitutional. However, in July 2019 a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Trump administration could award more of the "points" used to determine grant awards in one program to cities which declared immigration enforcement to be a priority or pledged to cooperate with immigration authorities by allowing them access to local jails and giving advance notice of releasing anyone in the country illegally from them.
