The warnings are the broadest yet issued by the Justice Department to so-called sanctuary cities believed to be hampering cooperation between local law enforcement and immigration authorities. The jurisdictions put on notice include the states of Illinois, Vermont and Oregon, as well as cities such as D.C., Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco."
