DOJ offers police grants to help enforce immigration laws
The US Department of Justice is offering federal grants to local police departments that assist with immigration enforcement. The move, reported by local outlets in Washington state, effectively ties funding to cooperation with federal immigration priorities, a longstanding flashpoint between the federal government and so-called sanctuary jurisdictions that limit such cooperation. The policy is likely to draw legal challenges and debate over the role of local police in federal immigration work.
Why now: It renews a contentious debate over local police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and the use of federal funding as leverage.
