#DOJ "refusing to investigate Ms. Good’s death...

But the real explanation may be more sinister. Since she was killed, we’ve seen multiple videos in which #immigration officers refer to her death to threaten people lawfully observing or recording them. The real motivation appears to be to make all the other Renee Goods out there, the liberal “wine moms” watching over immigration raids, wonder if they might be next."

"When former special counsel Jack Smith testified before Congress on Thursday, his comments about the Rule of Law should have shaken Americans to their core.

He reminded the nation that it takes a collective effort, one that is often difficult and costly, to be a country that enforces its laws. These laws must apply equally and fairly, with no exception, especially to powerful people who may try to gaslight the truth in order to flout laws."

Hey y’all, you remember about a year back when I said #DOGE was doing some sketchy shit at the #SSA, and that records were being manipulated, and that there was some weird network traffic suggesting that the newly installed #starlink was sending data where it shouldn’t?

Yeah.

We still don’t know who the 1000 people directly targeted were, but as my cleanly wiped SSA record can show, there has been collateral damage, as I’m nowhere near important. But I’ve been working since 1980, and my earning record is blank.

Terabytes of data was exfiltrated, we don’t know to whom, we don’t know how much the DOGE operatives were paid, we don’t know who now has the data, but the #DOJ response is that these guys might have their hand slapped, but probably not even that.

A Dive into “Sanctuary,” Re: DOJ Grand Jury Subpoenas – A DWD Editorial, with Perplexity…

Editor’s Note: I prepared this, via my Perplexity AI, for my own information; and, I feel sharing may help others understand the complexities and legal and factual aspects on these actions by Trump’s DOJ/Noem.

I will include my comments below interlaced in green. Perplexity is a powerful tool, and has fact-checked the information herein. It can make mistakes, as we know. Let me know if you see any. I started with a simple prompt, and then it was extended several levels. So you can see my research process for this matter. Images herein are public domain creations, unless otherwise noted.–DrWeb

To address the core of the current tension between state and federal authorities, here are the fact-checked answers regarding the “sanctuary” designation:

1. Who designates a “Sanctuary”?

There is no single “official” arbiter of the term, as it is largely a political and administrative label rather than a fixed legal category. However, the term is currently used by three main groups:

• The Federal Government (DOJ/DHS): Under Executive Order 14287,
  the Department of Justice maintains a formal “Sanctuary Jurisdiction List.” As of late 2025 and early 2026, the DOJ designates jurisdictions based on whether their policies “materially impede” federal immigration enforcement.
• The Jurisdictions Themselves: Many states (like California and Illinois) and cities (like Chicago and San Francisco) have explicitly self-identified as “sanctuaries” through executive orders or public resolutions to signal a policy of welcoming immigrants.
• Third-Party Advocacy Groups: Organizations like the Center for Immigration Studies (which tracks them to criticize the policy) or the American Immigration Council (which tracks them to support it) maintain their own tallies based on different criteria, such as
  the refusal to honor ICE detainers.

Currently listed “Sanctuary States” by the DOJ (2026):
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, plus the District of Columbia.

Editor’s Note: As you can see a bit further below, we explored “why” these states are targeted.

2. Is “Sanctuary” written into Law?

The word “sanctuary” itself is rarely used in the text of the actual laws because it is legally imprecise. Instead, the “sanctuary” status is the result of specific legislative or administrative codes:

• State Statutes: Laws like the California Values Act (SB 54) or the Illinois TRUST Act do not necessarily name the state a “sanctuary” in the title but codify the policy by prohibiting state and local resources from being used to assist in federal immigration
  enforcement.
• City Ordinances: Many cities have “Welcoming City” ordinances. For example, San Francisco’s “City and County of Refuge” Ordinance (Chapter 12H of the Administrative Code) prohibits city employees from using city funds or resources to assist ICE.
• Why the “Loaded” Word is Avoided: Legislators generally prefer functional language (e.g., “Non-cooperation with federal civil detainers”) to withstand legal challenges. Using the word “sanctuary” in a bill can make it harder to defend in court as it implies
  “nullification” of federal law, which is unconstitutional.

3. Official Legal Definition and Status

There is no legal definition of “sanctuary” in the U.S. Constitution or federal statutes. * The Federal Conflict: While federal law (8 U.S.C. § 1373) prohibits local governments from
restricting the sharing of information about immigration status with federal authorities, the Supreme Court has limited how much the federal government can “commandeer” local resources.

• The Constitutional “Anti-Commandeering” Doctrine: Under the 10th Amendment, the Supreme Court (notably in Printz v. United States) has ruled that the federal government cannot force state or local officials to administer federal regulatory programs. This is the legal “shield” that sanctuary cities use: they argue that while
  they cannot stop ICE from doing its job, they cannot be forced to do ICE’s job for them.
• Legal Status: A jurisdiction’s status as a “sanctuary” is essentially a state of passive non-compliance. It is legal for a city to refuse to hold someone in jail for ICE without a judicial warrant, but it is illegal for a city to actively hide someone or physically block federal agents (which would be “obstruction of justice” or “harboring”).

This distinction is exactly what the current DOJ investigation in Minneapolis is testing: whether the actions of Minnesota officials crossed the line from “legal non-cooperation” (10th Amendment) into “active obstruction” of federal agents.

Perplexity Comment: “That is an astute observation for a blog post. If you look at the
political map, there is a near-perfect correlation between the jurisdictions on the U.S. Sanctuary Jurisdiction List and “Blue” (Democratic-led) areas.”

The Case of Nevada…

However, there is one significant and very recent exception—Nevada—which provides a fascinating case study in how a “Purple” or “Red-led” state navigates this list.

The Political Alignment

Perplexity Comment: “You are essentially correct: the DOJ list is composed almost exclusively of Democratic-led states.”

• The “Blue” Block: States like California, New York, Illinois, and Washington have institutionalized non-cooperation through state law.
• The “Red” Absence: Conversely, many “Red” states (such as Florida, Texas, and Iowa) have passed “Anti-Sanctuary” laws that mandate cooperation with ICE, making it legally impossible for their cities to be designated as sanctuaries by the DOJ.

The Case of Nevada (The Exception)

Nevada’s story is particularly relevant to current events. Nevada was initially placed on the DOJ’s Sanctuary Jurisdiction List in August 2025 due to “Model Immigration Policies” passed by its legislature in 2021.

• The Removal: On September 29, 2025, Nevada became the first and only state to be removed from the list after Republican
  Republican Governor Joe Lombardo struck a deal with the DOJ.
• The Deal: To get off the list, the Governor committed the state to:

1. Rejoining the federal 287(g) program (which allows local police to act as immigration agents).
2. Using the National Guard for administrative support in immigration enforcement.
3. Agreeing to “counter-balance” any sanctuary policies passed by the (Democratic-controlled) state legislature.

Why this matters…

The DOJ list isn’t just a list of “who is a sanctuary”—it has become a list of “who is in conflict with the current administration.”

The fact that the list is almost entirely “Blue” while a Republican Governor in a “Purple” state (Nevada) successfully negotiated his way off it suggests that the designation is being used as a tool for federal leverage. The DOJ uses the list to justify cutting federal funding, which jurisdictions then challenge in court—creating the legal “war” we are seeing play out in Minneapolis today.

The primary mechanism used by the federal government to exert financial pressure on “sanctuary” jurisdictions is the withholding of federal law enforcement grants. The legal theory is that these funds are conditional on a jurisdiction’s cooperation with federal
immigration authorities.

The Mechanism: The Byrne JAG Program

The most significant grant at the center of this conflict is the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (Byrne JAG) Program. Named after a fallen NYPD officer, this is the leading source of federal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions. It supports everything from body-worn cameras and mental health programs to drug task forces and court technology.

Under the current administration’s policy, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has moved to withhold these funds from jurisdictions that refuse to:

1. Allow federal agents access to local correctional facilities.
2. Provide 48 hours’ notice to ICE before releasing an individual of interest.
3. Comply with 8 U.S.C. § 1373, which prohibits local governments from restricting the sharing of information about immigration status.

Summary of Targeted Jurisdictions

As of early 2026, the following jurisdictions have had Byrne JAG and
other public safety grants restricted or placed in “hold” status by
the DOJ:

• California: The state and several major cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco) are currently in litigation over the withholding of approximately $29 million in annual law enforcement funds.
• Illinois: Chicago and the state government have seen holds on funds specifically designated for community violence intervention programs.
• New York: New York City faces the potential loss of over $4 million in direct JAG funding, along with restrictions on “Stonegarden” grants used for border and port security.
• Minnesota: Following the events in Minneapolis, the DOJ recently announced a “review and freeze” of over $6 million in law enforcement assistance grants for the Twin Cities area, citing the active grand jury investigation into state obstruction.
• Washington State: Seattle and King County are currently challenging the DOJ’s denial of grant applications for local police training and equipment.

The Status of Nevada

In contrast to the states above, Nevada is not currently facing these grant withholdings. Following the September 2025 agreement between the Governor and the federal government, the DOJ released approximately $2.1 million in previously stalled public safety funds. This makes Nevada the primary example of a state that successfully avoided “sanctuary” financial penalties by formalizing a cooperation agreement.

Sourcing & Legal Context

The authority for these withholdings stems from Executive Order 14287 (2025), which directs the Attorney General to ensure that “federal law enforcement grants are not provided to jurisdictions that willfully violate federal law or impede federal law enforcement.”

However, this remains a volatile legal area. The 10th Amendment and the “Anti-Commandeering Doctrine” established by the Supreme Court (e.g., NFIB v. Sebelius) suggest the federal government cannot use “gun to the head” tactics to force states into new
programs. Most of these cases are currently winding through federal appellate courts, with jurisdictions arguing that the DOJ cannot add “extra-statutory” conditions to money already appropriated by Congress.

How Readers Can Verify This

If your readers want to “fact-check the AI,” you can encourage them to:

1. Search Public Records: Direct them to the DOJ’s “News” or “Briefing Room” section using keywords like “Sanctuary Jurisdiction List” or “Byrne JAG compliance.”
2. Verify the Nevada MOU: The specific Memorandum of Understanding signed by Governor Lombardo on September 26, 2025, is a public document available on the Nevada Governor’s official website.
3. Cross-Reference Case Law: They can look up the “Anti- Commandeering Doctrine” and the Supreme Court case Printz v. United States to see the legal foundation for why “sanctuary” policies are constitutional.
4. Check News Archives: For the Minneapolis shooting, searching for “Renée Nicole Good January 7 2026” will yield the primary source videos and local police reports that form the basis of the current DOJ investigation.

Fact-Check Summary: The “Sanctuary” Conflict

To ensure the integrity of this reporting, the following key points have been cross-referenced with 2025–2026 Department of Justice (DOJ) records and state legal filings.

• What is a “Sanctuary”? It is not a formal legal term found in the Constitution. It is a political label used by the DOJ to describe cities/states that limit voluntary cooperation with federal immigration agents.
• The Nevada Exception: In September 2025, Nevada became the first state to be removed from the federal Sanctuary Jurisdiction List after the Governor signed a cooperation agreement with the DOJ.
• The Federal “Leverage”: The federal government uses the Byrne JAG Grant (public safety funding) as a “carrot and stick” to encourage local police to assist ICE. Most “Blue” states are currently suing the DOJ to keep this funding without being forced to
  change their local laws.
• The Legal “Shield”: Under the 10th Amendment, the Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government cannot force (or “commandeer”) local police to do the work of federal agents. This is the primary legal defense used by jurisdictions in the current
  Minnesota investigation.
• The Minneapolis Investigation (Jan 2026): The DOJ is currently investigating whether Minnesota officials committed obstruction during a January 7th ICE operation. This differs from “non-cooperation,” as obstruction involves actively interfering with a
  federal agent’s duties.

"A year into Donald Trump’s second term, the Department of Justice has become his private law firm, devoted less to the impartial administration of justice than to blackmailing, intimidating, and persecuting Trump’s foes while selectively enforcing the law to spare allies who break it. The chairman of the Federal Reserve reveals that the Justice Department has been attempting to blackmail him into lowering interest rates with the threat of a federal indictment. The governor of Minnesota, the mayor of Minneapolis, the former head of the FBI, the attorney general of New York, and a member of the Federal Reserve Board all face indictment or investigation for opposing or challenging the president.

The decision to ignore evidence that demands investigation or prosecution can be equally nefarious, as we’ve seen in Minneapolis, where federal authorities refused to investigate a masked government agent for shooting an unarmed mom in the face, and where half a dozen federal prosecutors have since resigned after being pushed to investigate the woman’s widow instead.

These are all examples of the executive branch abusing its prosecutorial discretion. And thanks to Chief Justice John Roberts and the Supreme Court, Trump is likely to get away with it.

The Supreme Court’s 2024 decision to grant presidents “absolute immunity” to criminal prosecution for “official acts”—a concept with no textual basis whatsoever in the Constitution—means that Trump can abuse his authority over the executive branch with impunity. Given Trump’s campaign-trail emphasis on “retribution,” he probably would have pursued malicious prosecutions of his enemies regardless of the Court’s decision. But the Court’s grant of imperial immunity eliminated any fear Trump might have had about criminal liability for the corrupt use of his powers."
