U.S. v. State of Connecticut, et. al. - The Trump Administration sued the State of Connecticut, the Governor, the Attorney General, the City of New Haven and its mayor. The government is challenging provisions of the Connecticut Trust Act (Conn. Stat. § 54-192h)(2013) and its policy guidance (March 26, 2026) and provisions of New Haven’s Executive Order §§ III(2)-(8))(July 23, 2020). Connecticut’s Trust Act generally prohibits complying with a detainer unless it is accompanied by a judicial warrant or if the person has been convicted of a violation of certain enumerated crimes, prohibits disclosing non-public information without a judicial warrant, among other things. New Haven’s Executive Order prohibits city officers and employees from disclosing confidential information without the consent of the person, prohibits inquiring into a person’s immigration status, prohibits the use of city resources to investigate, enforce or assist with federal immigration enforcement, among other things. The federal case is ongoing.
