Original Date Announced
February 5, 2025Section I of AG Bondi's "Sanctuary Jurisdiction Directives" memorandum directs the Department of Justice (DOJ) to require that all state and local jurisdictions be "compliant with" 8 U.S.C. § 1373(a) to be eligible for certain Department grants. 8 U.S.C. § 1373(a) provides that government entities "may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, [federal immigration officers] information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual."
Within 30 days, the Associate Attorney General will create a report listing grants to which this new requirement applies. Additionally, "the Department may seek to tailor future grants to promote a lawful system of immigration, and to reduce efforts by state or local jurisdictions to undermine a lawful system of immigration." Part I also states that DOJ officials will "take any appropriate enforcement action where state or local practices violate federal laws, regulations, or grant conditions."
