Statement by Santa Clara County Counsel on Yesterday's DOJ Guidance and Motion to Reconsider related to the "Sanctuary Jurisdiction" Executive Order

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 23, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Attorney General Jeff Session's memo does nothing more than put the Department of Justice's losing arguments from the hearing into writing.  It shows that the Trump Administration continues to scramble in an attempt to save an Executive Order that is fundamentally unconstitutional and cannot be cured.  Santa Clara County will continue to fight vigorously to defend the injunction and its constitutional rights."

Santa Clara County Counsel James R. Williams
