The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Wednesday that it will subpoena up to 23 jurisdictions if they don't offer proof they are complying with a key federal immigration law.
In letters to major cities, including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, the DOJ requested documents relating to how their policies fall in line with 8 USC 1373, a section of federal law that prohibits jurisdictions from enacting laws that restrict communication between local officials and federal immigration authorities. ...
Any jurisdictions that fail to provide the requested information by Feb. 23 will receive a federal subpoena to compel the documents, the DOJ letters said. ...
"Failure to comply with section 1373 could result in the Justice Department seeking the return of FY2016 grants, requiring additional conditions for receipt of any FY2017 Byrne JAG funding, and/or jurisdictions being deemed ineligible to receive FY2017 Byrne JAG funding," the DOJ said. ...
"We've given them federal dollars - your taxpayer dollars - to cooperate with federal law enforcement," DOJ spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores told Fox News Wednesday. "They didn't have to take that money, but they did. And when they took it, they said they would comply with federal law. So what we're saying is if we find out you're not complying with federal law, we're taking the tax dollars back."
