President Joe Biden’s decision to reverse Donald Trump’s denial of
Department of Justice grants to sanctuary jurisdictions means New York
will receive more than $30 million for public safety, the state’s Attorney General Letitia James (D) announced on Tuesday.

“Public safety and our ability to protect our communities should never be jeopardized by politics,” James wrote in a statement.

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program, known as Byrne
JAG funds for short, was named after late New York City Police Officer
Eddie Byrne, who was assassinated in the line of duty in 1988.

Trump’s Justice Department denied up to $385 million in these grants to sanctuary jurisdictions, the states and cities opting to limit local cooperation with federal authorities on immigration.

The Empire State—along with Connecticut, New Jersey, Washington,
Massachusetts, Virginia and Rhode Island—challenged that policy in the
courts, with mixed success.

Despite winning on the trial level, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit allowed Trump’s Justice Department to move forward with
that restriction. Four other federal appellate courts, the First, Third, Seventh and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeal, had ruled differently.

Trump flipped the Second Circuit conservative with an appointment in late
2019.

The circuit split had spelled a Supreme Court battle, until the high court dropped the case at the Biden administration’s request.

“For decades, the Byrne JAG grant program has been a critical source of
federal funding for our efforts to protect New Yorkers, which is why the
former president’s attempts to hold these grant funds hostage was so unconscionable,” James wrote. “We’re pleased that the Biden administration
has removed the immigration-related conditions, and that New York can now access the more than $30 million of grant funds that have stood in limbo
over the last four years. This action will ensure that states and
localities don’t have to choose between protecting their autonomy and protecting public safety.”

On Monday, the Biden administration signaled plans to reverse other Trump-
era immigration policies and said that undertaking would be difficult.

“The sad truth is that we will not achieve 62,500 admissions this year. We
are working quickly to undo the damage of the last four years,” the
president said in a statement. “It will take some time, but that work is already underway. We have reopened the program to new refugees. And by
changing the regional allocations last month, we have already increased
the number of refugees ready for departure to the United States.”

That decision followed criticism within his party—including Senate
Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)—about projections that Biden is on
track toward admitting fewer refugees in his first year than any other president. Biden quickly announced plans to raise the cap following that criticism.

Biden’s Department of Homeland Security announced that the Family
Reunification Task Force he empaneled has begun the work of reuniting the
first group of families. The task force’s initial report is slated to be released on June 2.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
