The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued an ultimatum to Washington State, demanding the repeal of its 'Keep Washington Working Act' within seven days or face lawsuits, criminal charges against officials, and the loss of federal funding. This act prevents local law enforcement from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The DOJ argues this violates federal statute 8 USC 1373, which prohibits states from blocking information sharing with federal immigration officers. This legal battle is seen as a potential test case that the DOJ could leverage against Second Amendment sanctuary laws in other states.
This video discusses a lawsuit filed by the State of Washington against the Adams County Sheriff's Office. The state alleges the sheriff's department violated the 'Keep Washington Working Act' by assisting with federal deportation efforts. The sheriff's office argues federal law preempts the state act and that they have an obligation to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, particularly after aligning with America First Legal.
