Governor Lamont Statement Regarding U.S. Department of Homeland Security List Falsely Labeling Connecticut a ‘Sanctuary’ Jurisdiction [[link removed]]

Posted on May 30, 2025

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont released the following statement regarding the list from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that falsely labels Connecticut as a “self-identified” state sanctuary jurisdiction:

“We want local law enforcement focused on maintaining the safety of our neighborhoods and helping to get those who commit serious crimes off our streets. Connecticut’s Trust Act, which was originally bipartisan, is consistent with federal constitutional standards and reflects sound public safety priorities. I am focused on making sure people feel safe in our schools, churches, and elsewhere. Nothing about this makes Connecticut a 'sanctuary' in any legal or practical sense – it makes our state one that upholds the Constitution, respects the rule of law, and prioritizes the safety and well-being of our communities.”
