Prohibit federal agencies from occupying, leasing, constructing, or maintaining federal facilities in sanctuary cities.
Occurrences
Evidence
Executive Order 14287 directs the Attorney General and DHS to list sanctuary jurisdictions and directs agency heads, with OMB, to identify federal funds, including grants and contracts, for suspension or termination as permitted by law.
Section 17 orders DOJ and DHS, to the maximum extent possible under law, to undertake lawful actions so sanctuary jurisdictions do not receive access to federal funds.
AP reported SBA said it would relocate six regional offices from Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, New York City, and Seattle to places complying with federal immigration law.
AP reported a federal judge issued an injunction preventing the administration from denying or conditioning federal funds to sanctuary jurisdictions that limit immigration cooperation.
Assessments
The promised outcome was a government-wide prohibition on federal agencies occupying, leasing, constructing, or maintaining facilities in sanctuary cities. The evidence shows related anti-sanctuary actions during Moore's federal service, including executive orders targeting funding and an SBA relocation of six offices from sanctuary jurisdictions, but not the specific across-the-federal-government facility ban. Because the administration materially pursued adjacent sanctions and one agency implemented a limited relocation policy, the promise received partial delivery, not full delivery. The available evidence does not show Moore personally enacted or passed the specific prohibition.
