WASHINGTON—The U.S. Justice Department filed three lawsuits against California, New Jersey and a Washington county late Monday over their laws and policies limiting local cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, escalating a Trump administration battle against liberal states and localities that adopt so-called sanctuary policies.
Attorney General Bill Barr announced the actions in a speech to the National Sheriffs’ Association on Monday. The suits target New Jersey’s law limiting the information shared with ICE...
I’m guessing that Washington county voted blue at some point since Trump became president.
Everything this administration does is in the direction of LESS humanity, LESS compassion, LESS generosity, LESS social justice, LESS social harmony. They represent you if you consider this a good example for your children.
🌊👌🏼
California, NJ and that Washington county just need to declare themselves strict constitutionalists, like those sheriffs, and be free to obey the laws they wish.
Please also sue Birmingham, AL!
Good, agree. States ought not thumb nose at federal law. many may back defiance now because they like sanctuary policy. However down side will be when Progressives hold federal power, then States might thumb nose at policies they favor. Obeying the law can't be a one way street.
Blatant disregard for federal law is a major issue and hope Barr sues every state for this issue to be resolved immediately.
Hell yeah!
Sanctuary status should lose Federal $$$$
The most divisive Group in history. deficitupGdpDOWN .
These states need to follow the laws established by the federal government or lose all federal funding.
Those states should immediately cease all federal tax collections while its government is attacking them...TheJusticeDept are a bunch of criminal thugs. Use that money in state or to overthrow these criminals
Long overdue.
About time.
What the hell. They will do everything in their power to make desperate people leave
Worst AG since John Mitchell in the Nixon years
Stop providing federal tax dollars for dump red States California!
Finally reporting real news
The classic conservative posture included a distrust of the federal government and a distaste of any American forced to carry or show 'papers.' The also believed in states rights.
good and i hope you win
About time! Should withhold all the federal grants and aid to those crime infested Sanctuaries.
If you’re for sanctuary cities you’re against law and order
Could have sworn there was a whole war about the question of nullification.
Good
COME AND TAKE IT
It’s about time, throw in Chicago to that mix
One act of violence by an illegal in a sanctuary city is one too many. Thank you, get them all.
TechQn Finally.
feds should be responsible for enforcing their own laws, local officials have enough to deal with
AnonsSynonymous Nothing personal, we just have to know who is coming in our country, for obvious reasons
And so it starts...
Because they have less crime than many other cities, and we can't have that in America!
They seem to have spared Syracuse, and New York State.
Don’t they have something better to do with their time and money? Get corrupt Barr out of there- what a dirtbag.
Sue the Justice dept for protecting a fake president.

Took longer than I thought it would
