Ninth Circuit Upholds Federal Deportation Authority Over King County's Objections
Dec 3, 2024, 05:02 PM
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously ruled that the federal government holds the authority to deport illegal immigrants, even if local authorities object. This decision overturns a policy in King County, Washington, which barred Homeland Security from using local airports to detain and deport illegal immigrants. The court's ruling supports the administration's legal victory over sanctuary jurisdictions, affirming that local policies cannot interfere with federal deportation operations. The decision was based on the grounds that the county's policy violated the Constitution's Supremacy Clause by uniquely and illegally targeting federal government operations.
