Trump admin suspends controversial sanctuary city reports

The Trump administration has suspended its weekly reports aimed at putting political pressure on sanctuary cities.

President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration called for the so-called "declined detainer" report, and the Department of Homeland Security issued the first one three weeks ago

Complaints came in instantly about the reports. Several of the cities and jurisdictions mentioned on the list said they had been included in error, and DHS issued some corrections that spokesman David Lapan characterized as "data processing" errors. Other jurisdictions say they feel bound by court rulings to decline requests without a warrant.

Quote:

In the three weeks of reports, DHS issued about 3,000 detention requests a week and recorded a decreasing number of declined detainers, from more than 100 in the first week to 47 in the second.

But the statistics were also confusing: The declined detainers did not necessarily relate to the week's requests; some recorded in a given week dated back to 2013 and earlier, but were simply entered into DHS systems during the week in question.

ICE also would release a list of 10 cities each week that it said denied detainers and noted how many were sent to those cities, with no explanation of its methodology for selecting them.
