Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro said on Wednesday that the administration of President Donald Trump does not “know how to rule”, developing in the US Internal Security Department in publishing, and then removing the list of so -called jurisdiction of the sanctuary exposed to the loss of federal financing, leading to confusion throughout the country.
Shapiro, while in northern Philadelphia, he announced a lawsuit against the Trump Agriculture Department regarding the suspension of federal funds for food banks for the purchase from local farmers, criticized the administration for releasing the list of places that the Federal Government identified itself as non -motoring with immigration law, threatening to be deprived of their federal funds.
“These guys do not know how to rule,” Shapiro said on Wednesday, describing his own leadership style in Pennsylvania as offering the inhabitants “calm” when he said that the federal government “inject chaos”.
On Wednesday, a spokesman for the White House pointed to the decisive win of Trump in Pennsylvania in November, adding that Shapiro should “cooperate with the Trump administration in order to implement a politician for whom Pennsylvanians voted … instead of accepting the dangerous principles of the sanctuary that exposes communities.” (Shapiro office claims that Pennsylvania is not a “sanctuary state” and works with immigration and customs enforcement).
Shapiro, the first democratic Governor of Pennsylvania, so far carefully chose his battles with Trump, usually maintaining them in the case of filing laws, when Trump’s administration suspends federal funds or speaking against specific political critics.
In recent weeks, he has accelerated part of his public disapproval of Trump and GOP members of the Congress, especially surrounding the proposed cuts of Medicaid, that Shapiro said that the state would not be able to satisfy, because Democrats are trying to find a position in Trump’s second term. National experts distinguished Shapiro The ability to avoid Trump’s anger As the leader of one of the most politically crucial states of the battlefield, pushing him in the rankings As a presidential leader in 2028.
The list, published last week, threatened the federal financing of Philadelphia, four other cities of Pennsylvania and 11 poviats in Keystone.

Trump’s administration threatened to exceed federal funds to jurisdiction that does not facilitate to enforce federal immigration regulations. However, the federal list of jurisdiction in “Non -compliance” was quietly removed from the DHS website at the weekend and it is not clear whether or when it will be published again, whether the same locations will be named and what it means for those listed.
In a statement on Monday, DHS said: “The list is constantly checked and can be changed at any time and will be regularly updated.”
Despite the criticism of Trump, Shapiro on Wednesday largely refrained from commenting on the immigration policy of individual cities.
“If they have a perspective that they want to bring to abolish, they should bring it to again and should conduct a thoughtful conversation with the mayor and others about their views,” Shapiro added.
“It is not a shock for me that they issued a list of these so-called jurisdiction of the sanctuary-who, by the way, covered Adams’s county in a state of Pennsylvania, and then they had to tear him out, because they realized that they did not do their homework,” he said.
The Adams Country was one of the three Republican rural counties in Pennsylvania, in which Trump won over 20 percentage points, which were on the jurisdiction list of the Sanctuary of the Administration, along with many controlled by democratic cities and poviats, which have been more cordial to failed immigrants in recent years. Officials from two other rural poviats GOP, Montour and Clarion said last week that they believed that they would be placed on the administration list by mistake.
“I don’t know if chatgpt did not work that day or what,” Shapiro joked, laughing at the crowd. “These guys are like” a gang that could not shoot straight. “
