The Department of Justice has released a new list of sanctuary jurisdictions that allegedly obstruct federal immigration enforcement. The list includes major targets like Los Angeles and California, but notably excludes Los Angeles County, which has a significant undocumented population. Although not formally designated as a sanctuary, the county was previously listed by the Department of Homeland Security. The DOJ clarified that the list is not exhaustive and will be updated as more information is gathered. Attorney General Pamela Bondi emphasized concerns about safety linked to sanctuary policies, stating that they impede law enforcement.
The Department of Justice published a new list of 'sanctuary' jurisdictions that it claims have policies obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws.
Los Angeles County has not formally declared itself a sanctuary jurisdiction despite being home to over 2 million residents who are undocumented or living with undocumented family members.
The Department of Justice stated, 'These designations were made after a thorough review of documented laws, ordinances, and executive directives by the listed jurisdictions.'
Attorney General Pamela Bondi stated, 'Sanctuary policies impede law enforcement and put American citizens at risk by design.'
