Sanctuary Information
Memorandum dated February 5, 2025.
This memo threatens sanctuary jurisdictions by restricting access to federal grants administered by the DOJ, in accordance with Executive Order 14159. The memo goes after federal grants to jurisdictions that either support or provide services to immigrants.
This memo also threatens sanctuary jurisdictions and mandates investigations for “misconduct” in places where state and local officials refuse to participate in immigration enforcement. This has no sound legal foundation, and the federal government cannot make a finding of misconduct simply because they do not approve of a local policy.
