Democratic AGs slam DOJ’s immigration threats as ‘empty words’

Democratic AGs slam DOJ’s immigration threats as ‘empty words’

 In a unified response on Thursday, Democratic attorneys common from 11 states issued a joint assertion condemning the Division of Justice’s current threats to prosecute state and native officers who don’t adjust to President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration enforcement agenda. 

California Lawyer Common Rob Bonta, together with attorneys common from New York, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont, issued the assertion.

The assertion facilities across the Supreme Courtroom’s landmark resolution in Printz v. United States, which dominated on the constitutional limits of federal authority, notably to enforcement of federal legal guidelines. The Democratic attorneys common referred to as it a “touchstone of our American system of federalism,” separating the rights of state and federal authorities. 

“We are reminded by longstanding Supreme Court precedent that the U.S. Constitution prevents the federal government from commandeering state resources to enforce federal laws,” the attorneys common assert. “In Printz v. United States, the Court made it clear that the federal government cannot ‘impress into its service—and at no cost to itself—the police officers of the 50 states.’ This principle is a cornerstone of American federalism, ensuring a clear division of powers between state and federal governments.”

The joint assertion goes on to say whereas the federal authorities can use its personal sources to implement immigration legal guidelines, it can’t pressure state or native regulation enforcement businesses to do the job for them—and that Trump is overstepping his presidential authority. 

“Despite what the President may claim, he cannot simply rewrite the Constitution to suit his agenda,” the assertion continues. “His recent threats to weaponize the Department of Justice against public servants who are merely following state laws is not only overreach, but also a direct attack on local governments’ ability to serve their communities. This is an affront to the very system of checks and balances that protects us all.”

This unified response comes on the heels of a controversial inside memo issued by the DOJ, which means that state and native officers, notably in so-called “sanctuary” cities and states, might face prosecution in the event that they impede or fail to adjust to the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda. The memo outlines an aggressive enlargement of immigration enforcement techniques, together with the usage of federal sources in “sensitive areas” like faculties, church buildings, and well being care amenities—locations which can be historically seen as protected zones for susceptible immigrants.

The DOJ memo argues that state and native officers should adhere to federal immigration mandates below the Structure’s Supremacy Clause, and failure to take action might lead to felony costs or civil penalties. 

“Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing, or failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands and requests,” the doc states. “The U.S. Attorney’s Offices and components of the Department of Justice shall investigate incidents involving any such misconduct for potential prosecution.”

The specter of authorized motion has sparked widespread concern amongst immigrant rights advocates and state leaders, who warn that it might result in extra tensions between federal and native authorities, notably in cities and states which have handed legal guidelines designed to guard undocumented immigrants from federal immigration enforcement.

Whereas the memo’s implications are unclear for now, the attorneys common are expressing their unity and readiness to defend their states’ rights and native autonomy. They stress that these threats won’t be taken calmly and that they’re able to act if essential.
