Dear IMLA Immigration Working Group: Here are a few updates: 1. Attached please find the amicus briefs filed in the United States v. Illinois, et. al immigration case. 1. Below is a link to a press release and associated letter to grantees issued Friday from HUD stating, "federal housing assistance will no longer be granted to illegal aliens or sanctuary cities." The letter states in pertinent part: Recently, I directed HUD senior leadership to review our programs and institute mechanisms that can ensure that HUD programs are compliant with President Trump's Executive Order. For example, going forward, grant agreements will include language that will require compliance with Executive Order 14218, and the Department will take steps to ensure that Federal resources are not used to support "sanctuary" policies of State and local jurisdictions that actively prevent federal authorities from deporting illegal aliens. https://www.hud.gov/news/hud-no-25-051 1. And, here is a link to an article about the federal government pulling $188 million in funding from NYC related to the Shelter Services Program. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/fema-pulls-nyc-migrant-shelter-funding/ Thanks, Amanda [logo]<https://imla.org/> [facebook icon]<https://www.facebook.com/InternationalMunicipalLawyersAssociation/>[twitter icon]<https://twitter.com/imlalegal>[linkedin icon]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-municipal-lawyers-association-inc./> Amanda Karras (she/her) Executive Director / General Counsel International Municipal Lawyers Association P: (202) 466-5424 x7116 D: (202) 742-1018 51 Monroe St. Suite 404 Rockville, MD, 20850 Plan Ahead!
