An internal memo revealed that the DOJ has repealed a policy put in place during the Trump administration that cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in grants to sanctuary cities that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Cities, counties, and states that were recipients of the department’s popular $250 million annual grant program for local law enforcement, will no longer be required to cooperate with ICE as a condition of their funding. Maureen Henneberg, who leads the DOJ’s grant-making decisions, ordered staff to take down any pending DOJ grant applications with similar strings attached and start the process over again.

DOJ announced that it sent letters to 23 cities, counties, and states as part of a review of 8 U.S.C. 1373 compliance, demanding the production of documents that could show whether each jurisdiction is restricting information sharing with federal immigration authorities. The letter states that recipient jurisdictions that fail to respond will be subject to a DOJ subpoena.

In County of Santa Clara v. Trump, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued a nationwide permanent injunction against §9(a) of Executive Order 13768, which blocks so-called “sanctuary jurisdictions” from receiving federal grant money. District Judge William H. Orrick found the plaintiffs demonstrated that the executive order has caused and will cause them constitutional injuries by violating the separation of powers doctrine and depriving them of their Tenth and Fifth Amendment rights.
