- Immigration enforcement agencies will continue to arrest, detain and deport immigrants during the shutdown as these agencies were given billions in funding by Congress earlier this year.
- The Supreme Court on Monday overturned an order that had blocked ICE from committing egregious racial profiling, as they did in raids in Los Angeles earlier this year. The lower courts had agreed that ICE must be prevented from making immigration stops merely based on someone’s appearance and where they work, but the Supreme Court stayed their orders, essentially sanctioning widespread racial profiling. Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurrence lays out a roadmap for how he believes immigration enforcement should blatantly target Latinos working in sectors that rely on immigrant labor.
- President Trump signed two Executive Orders seeking to entrench cash bail in DC and throughout the country. The orders threaten to revoke federal funding from jurisdictions that have adopted certain bail reforms.
- Nearly 40 organizations have called on DC's mayor and police chief to immediately rescind an executive order allowing for collusion with federal immigration enforcement agencies, which flies in the face of the city's Sanctuary Values Amendment Act.
- (San Antonio, Texas)—Under the second Trump administration, law enforcement agencies are increasingly entering into 287(g) agreements that allow state and local police to act as immigration enforcement agents. Although there is ample documentation of the harms, such as the massive exacerbation of racial profiling, and financial waste these agreements bring to communities, the number of 287(g) agreements continue to skyrocket.
