Sanctuary cities include major urban areas like New York City and San Francisco, which have policies restricting information sharing with federal immigration authorities. Trump's initiative follows an earlier executive order aimed at enforcing federal immigration laws more strictly.

Massachusetts has enacted a ban on shore-based shark fishing along much of its coast following a controversial incident involving surfers and shark fishermen. The new regulations prohibit chumming and the use of drones for bait deployment, aiming to reduce interactions with federally protected great white sharks.
