The executive order directs agencies to identify federal funds for possible suspension or termination for sanctuary jurisdictions and directs DOJ/DHS to pursue enforcement measures.
Assessments
Roy directly advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 5005 in the 119th Congress to identify sanctuary jurisdictions and bar federal funding to them, but the bill has only been introduced and referred to committee, not enacted. The Trump administration also issued a same-term executive order directing agencies to identify funds for possible suspension or termination and pursue enforcement measures against sanctuary jurisdictions, which partially advances the defunding/enforcement goal. However, there is no evidence that Roy secured enacted statutory defunding or stronger federal immigration penalties, so this is not full delivery.
