Departamentul de Justiție din SUA amenință statele care nu raportează imigranții ilegali cu sistarea fondurilor federale

The U.S. Department of Justice has warned states that failure to report illegal immigrants could result in losing billions in federal assistance funds. A legal opinion states that all state authorities must report undocumented individuals to the Department of Homeland Security. This marks a significant shift, increasing pressure on states, as previously only certain agencies were required to comply. The opinion emphasizes that non-compliance could lead to severe consequences, including funding loss for programs. The Trump administration has been actively enforcing immigration policies, and states with Democratic leadership may challenge this measure in court. Federal allocations for assistance programs are substantial, and illegal immigrants are ineligible for these funds.
