    CPM Client City of Richmond Files Lawsuit Against President Trump's "Sanctuary Jurisdictions" Executive Order

    CPM Client City of Richmond Files Lawsuit Against President Trump's "Sanctuary Jurisdictions" Executive Order � 2017 Attorneys Joseph W. Cotchett The City of Richmond has filed a lawsuit today in the Federal District Court in San Francisco against President Donald Trump, Attorney Practice Areas General Jeff Sessions, and Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly, Municipal & Public Entity Litigation seeking to have declared unconstitutional an Executive Order issued by President Trump concerning “Sanctuary Jurisdictions.” The lawsuit alleges that Executive Order 13768, issued on January 25, 2017, is an unconstitutional action by the President as it provides unfettered discretion to the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to take away all federal funds from “sanctuary jurisdictions” which they believe do not follow federal immigration law. The suit alleges that the President does not have authority under the Constitution or any Congressional act to restrict federal funds based on such an Executive Order. The Executive Order does not define “sanctuary jurisdictions” and while there are many cities that have been referred to as “sanctuary cities,” there is no definition of either term. Under the vague and far-reaching language of the Executive Order, Richmond could lose federal funds without having violated any federal immigration policy. Richmond’s Mayor, Tom Butt, stated on behalf of the City Council: “Over 25 years ago, the Richmond City Council enacted an ordinance as a result of immigration raids by federal officers by setting forth a procedure for Richmond police to respond to requests for information by federal immigration authorities. We are confident that the policies we have put in place to promote a community policing culture comply with all federal laws.

    Immigration Enforcement

    IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT This is an excerpt from Inside the Numbers: How Immigration Shapes Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities, a report published by Asian Americans Advancing Justice—AAJC and Asian Americans Advancing Justice—Los Angeles in June 2019. The report is available for download: https:// advancingjustice-aajc.org/inside-the-numbers-report-2019 ISSUE BRIEF: IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT: ARRESTS, DETENTION, AND DEPORTATION Within five days of taking office, President Trump issued several executive orders that made sweeping changes to our immigration enforcement system. Through these major policy shifts, the administration has rapidly increased arrests, detention, and deportations of immigrants in the interior of the United States, and severely curtailed the due process rights of immigrants along the southern border. The federal government has the authority to exercise prosecutorial discretion in immigration enforcement, meaning that immigration officials may decide whether to arrest, detain, and deport an immigrant. Previous Republican and Democratic administrations adhered to priorities that focused enforcement on certain individuals. For example, the Obama administration issued immigration enforcement priorities that shielded around 87% of the undocumented immigrant population from deportation. In contrast, the Trump administration has explicitly abandoned all forms of prosecutorial discretion and has directed federal agencies to employ “all lawful means” to deport “all removable” noncitizens. As a result, the enforcement agencies Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection Since 2017, we have (CBP) have enacted a dragnet enforcement approach, escalating raids and arrests witnessed a drastic across the country, and striking fear into immigrant communities.159 increase in targeted enforcement against Since 2017, we have witnessed a drastic increase in targeted enforcement long-time community against long-time community members, including many long-term residents and refugees.
