34 cities, counties join immigrant sanctuary lawsuit against Trump

() Thirty-four cities and counties have requested to join a lawsuit from the state of California to stop President Trump’s administration from cutting federal funding to cities contingent on sanctuary policies, according to Stateline.org.

Those sanctuary policies have been used to limit cooperation with Trump’s mass deportation plan.

Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court made a ruling that consequently limits nationwide injunctions. This implies cities and states must be part of a lawsuit to get the benefits of any injunction, while also stopping such policies, as their legal values are debated in court.

In late April, the federal judge in the case William Orrick issued an injunction and told the Trump administration they were forbidden from using executive orders to retain federal funds from the original 15 cities and counties a part of the lawsuit.

“Trump officials are taking an all-hands-on-deck approach to getting local governments to do their bidding and this case is pushback against that,” attorney Jonathan Miller said. “Local governments have authority over their police and aren’t required to participate in immigration enforcement.”

If those new cities and counties are accepted for the lawsuit, there would be a total of 50 localities in the matter.

Nearly 44% of individuals held in immigration detention have no criminal record or have minor offenses, according to data obtained by the University of Syracuse.
