The justice Department (DOJ) has Sued Minnesota over its Sanctuary City Immigration Policies, making it the latest Locality to face Legal Threats as the Trump (R) Administration attempts to carry-out Trump’s Campaign Promise of Mass Deportations.
“Minnesota officials are jeopardizing the safety of their own citizens by allowing illegal aliens to circumvent the legal process,” Pamela Bondi (R), the Attorney General, said in a Statement.
The DOJ added that Minnesota’s Policies of Refusing to Cooperate with Immigration Authorities, without Warrents, are Illegal under Federal Law, and have Resulted in the Release of so-called “Dangerous Criminals”. Immigrants with No Criminal Record are now the Largest Group in U.S. Immigration Detention.
The Minnesota Cities of Hennepin, Minneapolis, and St Paul, join the Ranks of Los Angeles, Boston, New York City, and the States of Colorado and New Jersey. A Trump Administration Court Filing in June, amid Demonstrations against Immigration Raids, called Los Angeles’s Sanctuary City Ordinance “Illegal” and asked that it be Blocked from being Enforced to Allow the White House to Crack Down, on what it calls a “Crisis of Illegal Immigration”.
Over the Summer, the DOJ sent Letters to 13 States it Classified as “Sanctuary Jurisdictions”, including California and Rhode Island, and 22 Local Governments, from Boston to Seattle, informing their Leaders that they could Face Prosecution or Lose Federal Funding for “Undermining” and “Obstructing” Federal Immigration Agents.
Last month, a Federal Judge Blocked the Trump Administration from Cutting-Off Federal Funding to 34 “Sanctuary Cities” and Counties, according to an Executive Order Trump Signed at the Beginning of His Second Term.
Trump Campaigned for the Presidency on a Promise of Deporting Millions of Immigrants from the U.S. His Administration has Argued that Sanctuary City Laws, which Limit a Locality’s Participation with Federal Immigration Agents, Violate Federal Law. Brett Shumate, an Assistant Attorney General at the justice department’s Civil Division, said in a Statement that “shielding illegal aliens from federal law enforcement is a blatant violation of the law that carries dangerous consequences”.
