Has anyone done a deep dive on 8 U.S.C. 1324 and what the terms "harbor", "conceal" or "shield" mean in the statute? Has anyone seen this statute ever brought against a state or local official? I'm doing some research as well but figured I'd check before I reinvent the wheel considering there are nearly 37,000 citing references to the statute.

Thanks!

Amanda,

FYI – You’re probably aware, but just in case… The DOJ sent the attached memo to federal prosecutors on Tuesday (titled “Interim policy changes regarding charging, sentencing, and immigration enforcement”).

On page 3, it asserts that “the Supremacy Clause and other authorities require state and local actors to comply with the Executive Branch’s enforcement initiatives,” and that “[f]ederal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing, and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands and requests.” (emphasis added). The memo instructs prosecutors to conduct investigations of such “misconduct” for potential prosecution.

The memo also instructs the Civil Division to identify state and local laws, policies, and activities, that are inconsistent with the immigration initiatives of the Executive Branch – and to take legal action to challenge such laws.
