Target: Attorney General Pam Bondi, Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., and District of Columbia City Council
Goal: Reinstate local sanctuary policies and limit cooperation between D.C. police and federal immigration enforcement agencies.
On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi rescinded longstanding directives that protected immigrant communities in Washington, D.C., from unjust targeting and deportation. By scrapping these sanctuary city policies, local police are now required to fully cooperate with federal immigration agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This move threatens the safety, rights, and trust of immigrant residents, while undermining the authority of local officials to set policies that reflect the values and needs of their communities.
These changes allow D.C. police to arrest individuals based solely on administrative immigration warrants, share immigration information during routine stops, and transfer detainees to ICE without a criminal warrant signed by a judge. Such measures erode community trust in law enforcement, discourage victims and witnesses from coming forward, and put families at risk of separation.
We call on local and federal officials to immediately reinstate D.C.'s sanctuary policies, restore local control over policing, and protect the human rights of all residents—regardless of immigration status.
Key Demands
- Reinstate previous sanctuary city policies that limited cooperation between D.C. police and federal immigration agencies.
- Prohibit D.C. police from arresting individuals based solely on administrative immigration warrants not signed by a judge.
- Bar the sharing of immigration status information during routine police stops unless there is a criminal warrant.
- Restore the policy that blocks the transfer of noncitizen detainees to ICE without a criminal warrant signed by a judge.
- Affirm local control over policing decisions and resist federal overreach into D.C. law enforcement.
