Overview

• The list includes 12 states, the District of Columbia, four counties and 18 cities whose local policies bar warrantless detainer requests by ICE.
• Publication of the roster implements Executive Order 14287, signed April 28 to identify jurisdictions that defy federal immigration laws and target them for enforcement.
• New York City and Los Angeles face active DOJ lawsuits challenging their sanctuary policies, while a federal judge dismissed the department’s recent suit against Illinois.
• After a Justice Department threat, Louisville’s mayor agreed to honor ICE’s requested 48-hour detainer hold period, adjusting the city’s compliance.
• Bondi said the roster is not exhaustive, will be updated as authorities collect more information and can guide jurisdictions seeking removal.
