US EditionDemocratic States Double Down on Laws Resisting Trump's Immigration Crackdown
- Several Democratic-led states passed multiple pro-immigrant bills this week in California and beyond to restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
- These actions respond to intensified federal immigration enforcement, including Trump's lifting of enforcement restrictions near schools and ordering investigations into local officials blocking crackdowns.
- Democratic governors like Colorado's Jared Polis signed broad laws expanding immigrant protections, including barring jails from holding inmates for immigration purposes and penalizing entities that collect immigration status data without exceptions.
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Trump nearly quintupled cooperative agreements to 640, while the DOJ sued multiple states and cities for policies alleged to violate federal law and the Constitution.
- These legislative efforts aim to shield immigrants but experts note ongoing unresolved tensions between federal and state governments may limit their overall impact.
