Acting head of the Office of Justice Programs Maureen Henneberg, who supervises the DOJ\u2019s largest grant-making arm, wrote that grantees, including cities, counties and states, would not have to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in order to receive funding. She stated, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/exclusive-us-justice-department-ends-trump-era-limits-grants-sanctuary-cities-2021-04-28\/\">Reuters<\/a>, that staff should \u201cpull down and revise all solicitations that describe requirements or priority consideration elements or criteria pertaining to immigration. \u2026 These solicitations will be reposted and grantees will be required to reapply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On its community-oriented policing page, the DOJ writes, \u201cThe Department informed grant recipients and applicants that they will continue receiving certain Department grants without making certifications. The Department will also cease giving priority consideration to grant applicants that accept conditions similar to those requirements,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9520541\/U-S-Justice-Department-ends-Trump-era-limits-grants-sanctuary-cities.html\">The Daily Mail<\/a> noted.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after assuming the presidency in 2017, former President Trump stated, \u201cWe cannot faithfully execute the immigration laws of the United States if we exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memo that limited sanctuary cities on the grants they could receive from the Justice Department. Seven states, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia and Washington, as well as New York City, were affected by their sanctuary city policies.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2020, a New York federal appeals court overturned a lower court decision and ruled in favor of the Trump administration policy.
