Overview

• The Department of Homeland Security took down its online list of more than 500 jurisdictions deemed uncooperative with federal immigration enforcement on June 1.
• The Sheriffs’ Association and local officials criticized the list for lacking transparency and accuracy, citing no clear criteria or appeal process.
• Inclusions such as Huntington Beach, California, and Shawano County, Wisconsin, highlighted clerical errors and prompted local pushback.
• Secretary Noem told Fox News that the list remains an active tool for identifying and notifying noncooperative jurisdictions.
• Created under President Trump’s April executive order, the list threatened to cut federal grants and enforce legal measures against designated areas.
