00:00Judge Blocks Trump-Era Challenge to New York Courthouse Immigration Protections
00:04A federal judge dismissed a Trump-era lawsuit against New York's courthouse arrest limits,
00:10ruling Washington cannot force states to aid immigration enforcement.
00:14According to the Associated Press, U.S. District Judge May D'Agostino granted New York's motion
00:19to dismiss the case, one of several legal actions filed by the Republican administration
00:24targeting state and local immigration policies.
00:26The lawsuit took aim at New York's 2020 Protect Our Courts Act, which bars federal immigration
00:33officials from arresting people coming and going from state courthouses or attending court
00:37proceedings without a judge-issued warrant.
00:40The law, passed in response to federal enforcement actions during President Donald Trump's first
00:44term, does not apply to federal immigration courts.
00:48The Department of Justice argued that the law, along with two related state executive orders,
00:52was unconstitutional because it obstructed federal immigration enforcement.
00:56D'Agostino disagreed, citing the Tenth Amendment, which limits the federal government's power
01:01over the states.
01:03The judge wrote that the U.S. failed to show any federal law requiring state or local officials
01:08to assist federal immigration enforcement, because no such law exists, noting that the
01:12Tenth Amendment prevents Congress from compelling states or localities to use their resources or
01:17personnel for federal regulatory programs like immigration enforcement.
01:21New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat who argued to dismiss the lawsuit, praised the
01:27ruling.
01:27Everyone deserves to seek justice without fear, James said in a statement.
01:32This ruling ensures that anyone can use New York's state courts without being targeted by federal
01:38authorities.
01:38We are fighting for the dignity and rights of immigrant communities.
01:41The Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the ruling
01:46or indicate whether it plans to appeal.
01:48The decision underscores the legal principle that states are not required to cooperate with federal civil
01:54immigration enforcement, reinforcing protections for immigrants navigating New York's court system.
02:00The case adds to ongoing tension between state policies, safeguarding immigrant communities,
02:05and federal efforts to enforce immigration laws nationwide.
