Judge blocks 1 California Sanctuary Law, authorizes 2 others

California may limit police co-operation with immigration US authorities require inspections of detention centers, but can not enforce a key element of the sanctuary law of a third state prohibiting employers Privates allow immigration officers to their premises without a warrant, ruled Thursday an American judge

. brought against the state by the Trump administration seeking to block the three laws.

In an unusual move for a federal judge, John Mendez concluded his opinion by arguing that he was not considered from a "political angle" and that Congress President set aside "partisan politics and polarizing that dominates the current debate on immigration "to address the issue.

"There is no place for politics in our judicial system, and this view will be neither" Mendez, who was appointed to the post of federal president by Republican President George W. Bush, has written in his opinion dated July 4.

Mendez's mixed decision allowed both parties to claim victory

"Today, the Federal Court has made a firm decision against the government's overbreadth. federal, "said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra in a statement." The Constitution gives California residents, not the Trump administration, the power to decide how we will ensure our public safety and our well-being. to be general. "

The US Department of Justice said that he was disappointed that two of these laws not yet stopped," but he called the decision on the third law a "major victory for employees private investors in California who are no longer prevented from cooperating with the legitimate enforcement of our nation's immigration laws. "

The agency" will continue to seek The DOJ spokesman, Devin O 'Malley, said in a statement

that the administration filed a lawsuit in March to block the laws, continuing its efforts to suppress the so-called sanctuary jurisdictions. allow criminals to stay on the street.

California has resisted the efforts of the administration to restrict funding to sanctuary jurisdictions if it refuses to help federal agents detain and expel immigrants. Overall, the state has sued the administration more than 50 times, mainly for immigration and environmental decisions.

The Mendez lawsuit argued that the US Constitution gives the federal government the preeminent power to regulate immigration.

California said in court documents that the administration was trying to assume powers that have long been understood to belong to states and could not show that California's policy was causing injury.

Passage of Three Laws Followed President Donald Trump's Promises to Expel Expulsions

Mendez said in Thursday's ruling that the Federal Government's preliminary injunction application presented "problems new and unique constitutional principles. "

"Deciding on these critical questions between the twin powers of California and the United States," he wrote

. Detention facilities where immigrants are detained did not impose substantive conditions on detention centers, the judge said.

"For all his barking, the law does not really have any teeth," he wrote

. Mendez said: "The application of the release dates and personal information of the detainees – the information administration officials say that they must safely remove the dangerous people who are illegally in the country – not an obstacle. However, subjecting employers to monetary penalties solely because they allow immigration officers to enter their business or give them access to employment records is discriminatory to the employer. for those who choose to deal with the federal government, the judge said.

Mendez also blocked another part of the law that prohibits employers from verifying whether existing employees are authorized in Ork in the United States However, it has left in place a provision requiring employers to inform workers within 72 hours following receipt of an inspection notice from an immigration agency.

The state had asked Mendez to dismiss the complaint. Jerry Brown described as related in the United States "go to war" against California.

The judge did not immediately rule on this application.
