The Trump administration has put Portland, Multnomah County and Oregon on notice, including them on a list of 500 so-called sanctuary jurisdictions that it accuses of obstructing federal immigration enforcement.

Why it matters: President Trump has threatened to withhold federal funding from state and local jurisdictions that don't fall in line.

The big picture: The list released Thursday is the latest pressure tactic on jurisdictions the administration claims are defying federal law by limiting information-sharing and cooperation with immigration authorities.

• The list includes major urban centers like Seattle, New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Zoom in: In Oregon, a total of 15 counties and four cities — Beaverton, Eugene, Hood River and Portland — were among those named on the list published by the Department of Homeland Security.

Between the lines: The term "sanctuary jurisdiction" lacks a specific legal definition, often referring to cities that limit cooperation with federal immigration agencies.

• Oregon's sanctuary law, enacted in 1987, bans "state and local police and government from helping federal authorities with immigration enforcement."
• Portland passed a similar resolution in 2017.

What they're saying: "These sanctuary city politicians are endangering Americans and our law enforcement in order to protect violent criminal illegal aliens," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a news release.

The other side: "Portland stands unwavering in its commitment to sanctuary policies, rooted in the belief that every resident, including immigrants, deserves dignity, respect, and protection," Mayor Keith Wilson said in a statement.

• He added that the city "will not obstruct lawful federal enforcement operations."
• "Oregon will not be bullied into doing the federal government's job of performing immigration enforcement," Gov. Tina Kotek said in a statement.

Catch up quick: In April, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to document sanctuary cities that are not complying with his immigration agenda.

• Portland and Oregon have each joined lawsuits challenging the administration's efforts to withhold funding.
