A federal judge dismissed the trump administration’s trial against Illinois and Chicago on the “sanctuary” policies, which prevents local authorities from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement.
US District Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins said on Friday that policies on the issue have been protected by the US Constitution, stating that all the powers given to the federal government are not reserved to the states. This is the first legal shock among several cases which the administration has filed against cities and states on sanctuary laws.
Jenkins said in his judgment, “Finding that these uniform policy provisions form discrimination or impervious regulation, will provide an end-run around the tenth amendment.” “This will allow the federal government to allow the Commander states under the guise of inter -governmental immunity – the exact type of direct regulation of the states forbidden by the tenth amendment.”
In February, the Trump administration sued Illinois, Chicago, Cook County and local authorities including Governor JB Pritzkar, which is part of an attempt to target local government’s policies seen by the US Department of Justice to disrupt immigration enforcement efforts. The federal government argued that the policies are unconstitutional and are obstructing Trump’s efforts to complete the immigration crack.
American Attorney General Palm Bondi filed a suit on work during its first entire day. In the months of intervening, the administration sued some of other cases including Los Angeles, New Jersey and San Francisco. New York City became the latest target on Thursday.
Jenkins said in his judgment that immigration is mainly the responsibility of the federal government, under American immigration and customs enforcement. He said that the federal law “only provides an opportunity to assist in civil immigration enforcement” and does not make partnership mandatory. Therefore, sanctuary policies “do not make the snow job more difficult; they simply make it not easy,” he said.
The suit was challenging a state law passed in 2017 and strengthened in 2021 that roughly stopped the enforcement of local law enforcement with federal immigration enforcement, as well as Chicago policy and a cook county ordinance also reflecting the same limitations.
The sanctuary cities and immigration advocates argue that expanding law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration officers eradicates confidence in migrant communities and reduces people reporting crimes or taking advantage of public services such as schools and hospitals.
Under the order of Jenkins, the Trump administration has a revision of the case till 22 August.
