The Justice Department has not yet filed an appeal of Judge Orrick’s preliminary injunction against President Trump's executive order threatening sanctuary cities with loss of federal funds (Politico).
Local criminal justice policies that harshly penalize low-level offenses can undermine the promise of sanctuary cities, according to a new report (ImmigrationProf Blog).
The report is a joint release from Harvard Law School’s Fair Punishment Project, Immigrant Defense Project, and Immigrant Legal Resources Center, and can be found here.
