Homeland Security officials on Monday announced a list of law enforcement agencies that refused to detain immigrants arrested in connection with crimes in the United States so that the federal government could then deport them, a sign of a looming Trump administration crackdown on sanctuary cities nationwide.

Federal officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in a conference call with reporters, said the list was not an official compilation of sanctuary cities. Instead, it was a snapshot of law enforcement agencies, including in Maryland and Virginia, that refused to honor a total of 206 detainers issued by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement branch of the Department of Homeland Security from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3.

The list shows that cities and towns are not helping immigration authorities deport potentially serious criminals, including people arrested on suspicion of or convicted of drunken driving, aggravated assault and homicide, Homeland Security officials said.
