DOJ publishes list of 'sanctuary' cities and states, threatens lawsuits
Share this @internewscast.com


() The Department of Justice released a list of 35 “sanctuary” jurisdictions Tuesday, vowing to bring lawsuits against states, cities and counties that fail to comply with President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

The DOJ has accused those listed of “harmful” immigration policies and limiting cooperation with federal immigration agents.

AG Pam Bondi: Sanctuary policies put Americans at risk

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the DOJ is following through on its commitment to crack down on so-called sanctuary policies nationwide.

“Sanctuary policies impede law enforcement and put American citizens at risk by design,” Bondi said in a statement. “The Department of Justice will continue bringing litigation against sanctuary jurisdictions and work closely with the Department of Homeland Security to eradicate these harmful policies around the country.”

Since Trump signed an executive order in April directing the DOJ to create a list of sanctuary jurisdictions, the DOJ has filed several related lawsuits, including one last month against New York City.

Who’s included in the DOJ’s list of sanctuary jurisdictions?

The following states, cities and counties have been identified as sanctuary jurisdictions by the DOJ:

States

  • California
  • Colorado
  • Connecticut
  • Delaware
  • Illinois
  • Minnesota
  • Nevada
  • New York
  • Oregon
  • Rhode Island
  • Vermont
  • Washington state
  • District of Columbia

Counties

  • Baltimore County, Md.
  • Cook County, Ill.
  • San Diego County, Calif.
  • San Francisco County, Calif.

Cities

  • Albuquerque, N.M.
  • Berkeley, Calif.
  • Boston
  • Chicago
  • Denver
  • East Lansing, Mich.
  • Hoboken, N.J.
  • Jersey City, N.J.
  • Los Angeles
  • New Orleans
  • New York City
  • Newark, N.J.
  • Paterson, N.J.
  • Philadelphia
  • Portland, Ore.
  • Rochester, N.Y.
  • Seattle
  • San Francisco

Baltimore County in Maryland has pushed back, arguing its inclusion was in error.

Dems blast ‘meaningless’ PR stunt by DOJ

Democratic leaders have slammed the DOJ’s move as politically motivated.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office dismissed the list as “another PR stunt by the federal government to scare people,” calling it “ridiculous and meaningless.”

In June, Democratic mayors and governors of several targeted cities faced fiery questioning during a House Oversight Committee hearing on immigration policies and protections for undocumented immigrants.
