Dear IMLA Immigration Working Group:

I wanted to provide a few updates after today's call.

  1. Please find attached the SF / Santa Clara County motion for a preliminary injunction in their lawsuit against the Trump administration related to the "sanctuary" policy issue and withholding of federal funding under the Executive Order and other executive actions.
  2. Motions to Dismiss filed by Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois in their case brought against them by the DOJ related to their "sanctuary" policies.
  3. Regarding the Shelter & Services Program Grant issue, if you'd like to talk to a subgroup of folks that are responding to that, please email me and I'll see if I can help facilitate a call.
  4. Here is the Basic Ordering Agreement FAQ from the National Sheriff's Association website that was discussed: https://www.sheriffs.org/sites/default/files/BOAFAQ.pdfhttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.sheriffs.org_sites_default_files_BOAFAQ.pdf&d=DwMFAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=jblVzryv37xz6dGHTIBd0omyr7IZ_ghleJygNWPo2JE&m=6PL1e5fgQr4oPKviwP03pGlShkXefhd_IoVAFUs2P42Q7ZuXiWEYWRHTK7ZhrMdq&s=RLzmMS813yH44ZLna1YHHdOOdMzbFggNn6c66YCoctc&e=. As noted, I believe this document is from the first Trump administration and am not aware of jurisdictions currently entering into these agreements, particularly without indemnification.
  5. Article discussing the statements by Tom Homan at the NSA meeting that they are working on indemnification for localities that participate in 287g agreements.  https://newjerseymonitor.com/2025/02/24/ice-lets-local-officials-stop-immigrants-on-the-streets-as-task-force-program-is-back/#:~:text=Homan%20told%20sheriffs%20he's%20working,help%20you%20out%20and%20defend

Thanks,
Amanda
