On Wednesday, July 18, New Jersey sued the US Department of Justice (DOJ) over the Trump administration\u2019s policy that attaches immigration enforcement conditions to federal public safety grants.\u00a0 These conditions have already cost New Jersey taxpayers over $4 million in federal public safety grants, given several New Jersey \u201csanctuary state\u201d policies.<\/p>\n

In New Jersey, federal immigration officials are denied entry into the state\u2019s jails.\u00a0 Also, local and state police are not permitted to provide advance information to federal immigration authorities related to the release of an immigrant from state custody.\u00a0 Both policies are contrary to the Trump administration\u2019s requirement that local, county, and state law enforcement and correctional facility officials fully cooperate with federal immigration reporting and enforcement measures.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a>, New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal called the administration\u2019s immigration-based conditions \u201cillegal\u201d and said they were \u201cessentially holding hostage a critical source of crime-fighting and public safety funding.\u201d\u00a0 Attorney General Gurbir noted that the lawsuit challenges DOJ\u2019s policy that \u201chas tried to force a false choice on state and local governments: either you adopt the same harsh, anti-immigrant policies as the federal government, or you don\u2019t get federal grant funding for critical anti-violence programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local, county, school district, and state officials who wish to adopt any type of immigration-related policy must closely consider the implications of the policies on federal grants, programs, and access to other critical public safety resources.<\/p>\n
