3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: brought to you by American Arbitration Association. International trade or

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: business dispute is all Faster with the International Center for

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: a Dispute Resolution, the leader in alternative dispute resolution around

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: the world i c DR dot org. Today Bloomberg Lah

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: Hostjum Grasso and Greg Store discussed Donald Trump's recent executive order,

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: which allows the government to withhold federal money from so

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: called sanctuary cities, which have policies in place protecting illegal immigrants.

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: They speak with Jennifer Chacon, professor at the University of

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: California Irvine School of Law, and Jessica Vaughan, director of

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: Policy Studies for the Center for Immigration Studies. Jennifer, there's

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: no clear definition of sanctuary city, and the policies of

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: sanctuaries cities seem to vary widely. Are there any policies

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: they all adhere to? No? I think one of the

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: things that's interesting is the President is used the term

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: sanctuary almost as if it's a legal term of art.

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: But there is a great deal of variety among sanctuary cities. Um,

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: and also other departments and agencies that practice policies that

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: might be characterized by some as sanctuary policies. UM. So

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: there's a lot of diversity. I think some things that

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: features that they might have in common, um would include, uh,

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: not using local resources, state or local resources, the resources

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: of state and local agencies, UM to investigate immigration status

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: of their own accord um and with their own resources.

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: In Jessica UM. Donald Torp of course is threatening it

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: to cut off funds to cities. What kinds of funds

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: do cities received from the federal government, putting aside for

29
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: a second whether the president actually would be able to

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: legally withhold that money. Well, if you read the executive orders,

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: you see that it's clear that they're going to be

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: using a US Code thirteen seventy three, which says that

33
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: no jurisdiction can in any way prohibit or restrict their

34
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: officers communication with federal gradition authorities, and no one can

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: shield criminal aliens from detection by the federal government. And

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: so um, this is the section. These are the sections

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: of the law that the Department of Justice has already

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: said that anyone applying for d o J Law enforcement

39
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: grants has to be in compliance with and they've said

40
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: that policy. You know, sanctuaries who have policies and in

41
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: that are inconsistent with that law are going to see

42
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: their funding with health. So this is already on track

43
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: and it's perfectly in conformance with the law. Right now,

44
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: we're talking about Department of Justice funding um for law

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: enforcement purposes, but President Trump has directed his administration to

46
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: look at other kinds of funding that could be potentially

47
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: at risk for the sanctuaries. And as Jessica Vaughan, director

48
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,040
