list<\/a> of what it determined to be sanctuary jurisdictions, or local entities that have \u201cpolicies, laws, or regulations that impede enforcement of federal immigration laws.\u201d <\/p>\n\u201cSanctuary policies impede law enforcement and put American citizens at risk by design,\u201d Atty. Gen. Pamela Bondi said in a statement accompanying the published list. <\/p>\n
Several cities and counties across the country have adopted sanctuary city policies, but specifics as to what extent they\u2019re willing \u2014 or unwilling \u2014 to do for federal immigration officials have varied. <\/p>\n
The policies typically do not impede federal officials from conducting immigration enforcement activities, but largely keep local jurisdictions from committing resources to the efforts. <\/p>\n
The policies also don\u2019t prevent local agencies from enforcing judicial warrants, which are signed by a judge. Cooperation on \u201cdetainers\u201d or holds on jailed suspects issued by federal agencies, along with enforcement of civil immigration matters, is typically limited by sanctuary policies.<\/p>\n
Federal officials in the suit have so far referred to \u201csanctuary\u201d jurisdictions as local governments that don\u2019t honor immigration detainer requests, don\u2019t assist with administrative warrants, don\u2019t share immigration status information, or don\u2019t allow local police to assist in immigration enforcement operations. <\/p>\n
Orrick noted that the executive orders threatened to withhold all federal funding if the cities and counties in question did not adhere to the Trump administration\u2019s requests. <\/p>\n
In the order, the judge referred to the executive order as a \u201ccoercive threat\u201d and said it was unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
Orrick, who sits on the bench in the Northern District of California, was appointed by former President Obama.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration has been ratcheting up efforts to force local jurisdictions to assist in immigration enforcement. The administration has filed lawsuits against cities and counties, vastly increased street operations and immigration detentions, and deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles as it increased immigration operations. <\/p>\n
The U.S. Department of Justice in June sued Los Angeles, and local officials, alleging its sanctuary city law is \u201cillegal.\u201d<\/p>\n
The suit alleged that the city was looking to \u201cthwart the will of the American people regarding deportations\u201d by enacting sanctuary city policies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Trump administration cannot deny funding to Los Angeles and 30 other cities and counties because of \u201csanctuary\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":170197,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[42227,1582,276,2451,3059,49745,20796,97348,1806,6616,97349,2961,224,2444,5337,97350,24025,11004,4352,6288],"class_list":{"0":"post-170196","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-american-citizen","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-city","12":"tag-county","13":"tag-effort","14":"tag-executive-order","15":"tag-federal-immigration-enforcement","16":"tag-federal-official","17":"tag-judge","18":"tag-jurisdiction","19":"tag-la","20":"tag-los-angeles","21":"tag-los-angeles-times","22":"tag-losangeles","23":"tag-preliminary-injunction","24":"tag-sanctuary-policy","25":"tag-statement","26":"tag-trump-administration","27":"tag-u-s-department"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115080443189714638","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170196\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
