1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Law with June Grosso and Michael Best on demand

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: via our Bloomberg Radio Plus app free for iPhone and

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: Android devices. Well, now it's time for our daily Bloomberg

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: labrary for exploring legal issues in the news, and Bloomberg

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: La host June Grasso discusses whether sanctuary cities in the

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: US that protect undocumented immigrants from deportation are in violation

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: of federal law. She speaks with Lena Grayber, a special

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: project attorney at the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in San Francisco,

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: and Kevin Johnson, the dean and a law professor at

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: u C. Davis Law School. Kevin states and cities can't

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: be required to enforce federal law. So is there any

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: violation of federal immigration laws in what these sanctuary cities

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: are doing. Not generally, and I don't even think specifically.

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: I think traditionally it's been the case of the federal

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: government has power to enforce the immigration laws, to admit immigrants,

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: to deport immigrants, and it's been up to the states

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: to enforce their laws, including their criminal justice laws. And

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: that that separation has been thought of traditionally as being

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: a good separation because you want the federal government that

20
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: considers foreign policy consequences of immigration enforcement, and you want

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: the state local governments to focus on what they should

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: be focusing on the safety and the well being of

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: the residents of the state local jurisdictions. In recent years,

24
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: there's been some states that have tried to intrude on

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: the federal power to regulate immigration, like Arizona, and the

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is is said that those efforts are limited.

27
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: So I think it's what we're seeing now is some tension,

28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: some discussion, probably some debate about the role of the

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: states and the federal government when it comes to immigration

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: and immigrants and how to treat immigrants. Lena explain what

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: the Obama administration has been doing using these so called

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: detainer requests to target undocumented immigrants and how some cities

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: have been reacting. So for the last many years, ICE

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 1: has been using this mechanism called an ICE detainer, which

35
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: is a message they send to typically a county jail,

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: but any law enforcement agency that says we're interested in

37
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: someone in your custody, please hold them for us so

38
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: that we can pick them up and put them in

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: deportation proceedings. And that mechanism has been roundly criticized in

40
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: the federal courts as an illegal arrest without probable cause

41
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: or a warrant. These requests are not reviewed by a judge,

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: they don't meet the requirements of the Fourth Amendment. And

43
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: in response to those core decisions and general concerns about

44
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: assisting in immigration enforcement, hundreds of counties across the country

45
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: and cities um but more often actually at the county level,

46
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: have enacted laws or policies saying that they won't comply

47
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: with ICE detainers and as Lena Graver, a special project

48
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: attorney at the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in San Francis, Disco,

49
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: and Kevin Johnson, the dean and a law professor at

50
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: u C. Davis Law School, speaking with Bloomberg Law host

51
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: June Grasso. You can listen to Bloomberg Law weekdays at

Speaker 1: one pm Wall Street Time here on Bloomberg Radio and Now.

53
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: Among the top legal stories from Bloomberg Law. One of

54
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: the British citizens who challenged UK Prime Minister Theresa May's

55
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: attempt to unilaterally trigger Brexit, Gina Miller, said the decision

56
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: of the UK Supreme Court will be the final word

57
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: in the case. Miller, who runs an investment startup want

58
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: a ruling earlier this month from a London court that

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: said it would be illegal for the government to invoke

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: Article fifty without consulting Parliament. Miller says she does not

61
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: plan on appealing the case to U e U courts.

62
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: The High Court ruling earlier this month sent immediate chockaway

63
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: sue London's financial and political enclaves. Power on the worst

64
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: performing major currency in se rose to a three week

65
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: high against the dollar, and lawmakers on both sides. The

66
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: debate grappled over whether whether the decision would force me

67
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: to alter her plans. And that's this morning's Bloomberg lawbrary.
