Key Figures

The Department of Justice formally requested records from California county jails on all noncitizen inmates, escalating its enforcement of the 30-day ultimatum issued two days earlier. The requests were sent to sheriffs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Santa Clara counties. California officials said the requests exceeded federal authority and raised Fourth Amendment concerns about data sharing without individualized suspicion.

Sheriffs from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Santa Clara counties publicly refused to comply with DOJ requests for noncitizen inmate data, citing state sanctuary laws and constitutional concerns. California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the state would provide legal support to sheriffs facing federal pressure. The defiance set up a direct legal confrontation between California and the federal government.
