  • The Justice Department has ordered federal prosecutors to investigate state or local officials who they believe are interfering with the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration, saying they could face criminal charges, in an apparent warning to the dozens of so-called sanctuary jurisdictions across America.

The article from OregonLive discusses a directive from the U.S. Department of Justice, under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, to investigate local jurisdictions for compliance with federal immigration laws. This move is part of the Trump administration's broader crackdown on immigration, focusing on whether local governments are obstructing ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) from performing their duties. The investigation targets so-called "sanctuary cities" or areas where local law enforcement limits cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Critics argue that this could lead to racial profiling and strained community-police relations, while supporters believe it's essential for national security and law enforcement. The article highlights the tension between local autonomy and federal authority, with potential implications for funding and legal battles over the enforcement of immigration policies.
