The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against the Trump administration in its efforts to stop California from enforcing most of the provisions of its “sanctuary state” laws. A three-judge 9th Circuit panel ruled Friday to uphold most of a U.S. district court decision issued last summer.
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: The ruling largely reinforces the status quo, pending additional litigation. Most of the provisions of California’s sanctuary state laws that were challenged in the appeal will be allowed to stand. However, key provisions of AB 450 remain enjoined. BAL will continue following the litigation as it moves through the court system and will alert clients to any significant changes.
