Trump administration vows to ‘come after' sanctuary states and cities, despite court setbacks
Federal immigration officers helped by Rochester, N.Y., police arrest men from Guatemala after a March traffic stop. The Trump administration has threatened the city over its sanctuary policies. City officials say some officers violated the policy by assisting in the arrests. (Photo courtesy of City of Rochester) The Trump administration is once again pressuring liberal cities and states to cooperate with deportation efforts, despite previous setbacks in court. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent letters last week telling sanctuary states, cities and counties that 'you better be abiding by our federal policies and with our federal law enforcement, because if you aren't, we're going to come after you,' she said in a Fox News interview. She demanded the areas answer her by Tuesday. Cities and states with so-called sanctuary policies generally refuse to assist with immigration raids or accede to requests for local jails to hold prisoners for deportation. Those that responded to Stateline's questions about the letters said they were not inclined to change their positions about cooperation with immigration authorities. 'It's the tactic of a bully. And the only way to deal with a bully is to let them know that they're not going to intimidate you,' Rhode Island Democratic Attorney General Peter Neronha said in a statement. The Trump administration is attempting to force more cooperation with immigration arrests. But it suffered a serious court reversal on July 25, when a federal judge dismissed a sanctuary policies case against Illinois, Chicago and Cook County. The state and local policies reflect a 'decision to not participate in enforcing civil immigration law — a decision protected by the Tenth Amendment,' Judge Lindsay Jenkins wrote in an order now under appeal. Bondi's letters follow the Justice Department's Aug. 5 release of a list of sanctuary jurisdictions including 12 states, the District of Columbia, four counties and 18 cities. That's fewer jurisdictions than the 14 states and almost 500 counties and cities that appeared on an earlier list, which the agency withdrew after criticism that it included conservative counties that were fully cooperating with immigration enforcement. The states on the new list are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington state. The list also includes some counties and cities in those states as well as in Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New Mexico. It's the tactic of a bully. And the only way to deal with a bully is to let them know that they're not going to intimidate you. – Rhode Island Democratic Attorney General Peter Neronha Other federal courts have issued injunctions to at least temporarily stop Trump administration from withholding unrelated federal funding from governments that don't cooperate on immigration. Cities, counties and states have filed lawsuits challenging Trump's executive orders targeting sanctuary policies, including a February order that federal payments to states and localities must not 'by design or effect, facilitate the subsidization or promotion of illegal immigration, or abet so-called 'sanctuary' policies that seek to shield illegal aliens from deportation.' 'The executive orders are directing agencies to basically take a maximalist approach to putting pressure on local governments to cooperate with immigration [enforcement], even though they're not required to do so by federal law,' said Jonathan Miller, one of the attorneys working on the California case for the Public Rights Project, a California-based group promoting civil rights protections for states and cities. One city on the administration's list was Rochester, New York, which disciplined some police officers for helping federal agents make a March arrest in the city. The city already faces a lawsuit brought by the Trump administration that prominently mentions the arrest of three men from Guatemala; one of whom has since pleaded guilty to re-entering the United States after a previous deportation. A spokesperson for the city, Barbara Pierce, said in a statement to The Guardian that, 'Nothing in Attorney General Bondi's letter is new and none of it has legal merit.' 'The letter reiterates many of the frivolous arguments that the federal government has already made in its pending suit against the city of Rochester,' she added. 'These same arguments were levied against the city of Chicago and were dismissed by the federal district court for the eastern district of Illinois nearly a month ago.' Ally Sullivan, a spokesperson for Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, said in a statement that Colorado 'is not a sanctuary state. The Governor continues to be frustrated by this mistaken and incorrect label.' In a televised interview earlier this year, Polis pointed out that Colorado fully cooperates with federal authorities on criminal matters. Immigration, he said, is a civil matter. 'In Colorado, we are improving public safety, apprehending dangerous criminals, cooperating with federal law enforcement on criminal investigations, and keeping our communities safe,' Sullivan said. Nevertheless, Colorado faces a federal lawsuit brought by the administration over its alleged sanctuary policies. Polis signed a measure in May that limits local law enforcement's communication with federal immigration authorities and restricts where federal authorities can operate within schools, child care facilities, hospitals and libraries without a judicial warrant. Connecticut Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont in a statement said the state's Trust Act, which the Trump administration has targeted as a sanctuary policy, was passed with bipartisan support and helps ensure local police concentrate on serious crimes. The Trust Act, passed in 2013 and expanded in 2019, limits information sharing and compliance with requests to detain immigrants for federal immigration authorities. 'Nothing about this makes Connecticut a sanctuary in any legal or practical sense — it makes our state one that upholds the Constitution, respects the rule of law, and prioritizes the safety and well-being of our communities,' Lamont said.

The only thing Alina Habba is enforcing is Trump's vengeance
Letitia James, the New York attorney general, is going to need to 'lawyer up.' So will Adam Schiff, the California senator, and Jack Smith, the former Justice Department official who investigated President Donald Trump's complicity in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. There's a good chance former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, whom Trump has flippantly accused of treason, also may need to. And here is a name that may surprise you: New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. He's already ahead of them all. The governor, as Politico New Jersey reported on Aug. 7, retained two top-shelf lawyers – Parimal Garg, his former chief counsel, and Chris Porrino, who served as a state attorney general for former Gov. Chris Christie – after Murphy was served with a subpoena as part of an investigation into New Jersey's 'sanctuary state' immigration policies. Both lawyers work at the Roseland-based Lowenstein Sandler firm and will be paid $450 an hour, the report said. Leading this spurious inquisition is the acting U.S. attorney-in-limbo for New Jersey, Alina Habba, the eager-to-please former personal lawyer to Trump who has turned the federal plaza in Newark into a circus. She is – or was, at least, when she was secure in the job – probing whether the 'sanctuary state' policies interfered with Trump's immigration crackdown. But according to sources familiar with matter, the subpoena apparently was more concerned with the gaffe Murphy made before a left-wing group in February. Playing to the crowd, a puffed-up Murphy suggested to the audience that he might be sheltering an illegal immigrant at his Middletown home. He then dared the federal immigration authorities to try to get her. That annoyed Tom Homan, Trump's border czar and chief enforcer of the ICE raids, who called Murphy's remarks 'foolish' and vowed to look into them. An aghast Murphy spent the next week walking back his comments, explaining that the person in question had never been to his place, and that this unnamed person was, in fact, in the United States legally but was seeking permanent status. It was a form of crowd-pleasing fabulism that probably overtook Murphy in the heat of the moment. (If telling tall tales were a crime, most of the Trump administration would be on a supervised work-release program.) Murphy administration officials declined to comment on the subpoena and status of the investigation – if there is one. Alina Habba isn't enforcing the law. She's playing politics. Yet the subpoena over an absurd, custom-made-for-the-right-wing-echo-chamber 'investigation," and the fact that Murphy needed to go hire two top guns – at taxpayers' expense if at some point they have to do real work – is just another milestone of the absurd Habba circus as the state's top federal law enforcement officer. It's been a debacle since she took the job earlier this year. She began by politicizing the office, telling a right-wing podcaster that New Jersey is ripe for a 'red' takeover. The crime fighter spoke like a political strategist. Then she had Newark Mayor Ras Baraka arrested in May for allegedly trespassing at Delaney Hall, the federally leased detention center in his city, during an immigration protest, only to withdraw the charge and draw the withering scorn of the presiding judge, who publicly scolded her for her 'embarrassing retraction.' Opinion: Alina Habba politicized her job as US attorney. Team Trump politicizes her exit. Both U.S. senators from New Jersey refused to sign off on her nomination, and the state's federal District Court judges voted not to extend her interim rein. They made their vote of no confidence clear by replacing her with prosecutor Desiree Leigh Grace, a registered Republican.

Download it for free from your app store. An angered Trump defended Habba and devised a work-around by firing Grace and installing Habba as the first assistant U.S. attorney, which would effectively put her in charge of the office without needing to get approval from the Senate or the blessing of federal judges. But this piece of creative shuffling has only created more confusion, as lawyers for several defendants are now seeking to get their charges dismissed on the grounds that Habba was not authorized to bring the charges under this new end-around role. And looming over this recent résumé is an ethics investigation into Habba's allegedly improper role in settling a sexual harassment claim of a former employee at Trump's Bedminster golf club. Opinion: Midterms are more than a year away, but Trump is already challenging them Trump – suddenly – cracks down on crime The irony is that Trump has made a great show lately of cracking down on crime. He authorized a military takeover of the Washington, DC, police department on Aug. 11, vowing to wipe the nation's capital of crime and homelessness –despite a drop in crime rates in the city. He has hinted that he may deploy more federal troops to Democratic-controlled cities. Crime fighting doesn't seem to be his purpose in Newark. He's digging in his heels in support of Habba out of anger at being rebuffed by federal court judges. He feels his prerogative of picking his own people has been once again thwarted by unelected judges. His prerogative just ran smack into long-established institutional guardrails. And as always when he runs into guardrails or norms, he seeks to ignore them or blow them up. Habba is simply not qualified One clear reason Habba has collided with those guardrails is that she is clearly not suited for the job. The United States attorney for New Jersey is a powerful and prestigious job that was held by a long roster of venerable prosecutors: Frederick B. Lacey in the late 1960s, the first in a series of important mob-busting prosecutors, like Jonathan Goldstein, a Nixon appointee in the mid-1970s, and Robert Del Tufo until 1980. Chris Christie, sworn into office in 2002, was widely accused of targeting mostly Democrats, but there was at least a focus on rooting out political corruption, and he parlayed that record into the governor's office. Regardless of his motives, he put the political class on notice. Alina Habba? Is she the best that Trump can do for a state where he raised and later bankrupted his casino empire and where he retreats from the Florida heat? Or is New Jersey not really a front in his purported War on Crime but just another battleground in his war on institutional power? Charlie Stile is a veteran New Jersey political columnist.
