波士顿，5月28日（路透社）——一名联邦法官驳回了特朗普政府提起的诉讼，该诉讼旨在挑战一项限制警方与联邦移民执法机构合作的波士顿市条例。
任职于波士顿的美国地区法官利奥·索罗金作出裁决，称美国司法部缺乏提起该诉讼的法律依据。这是司法部针对民主党主导的所谓“庇护辖区”所通过法律提起的约12起类似诉讼之一。

该诉讼于去年9月提起，针对波士顿市及民主党市长吴弭，旨在挑战《波士顿信任法案》。该法案于2014年首次通过，市议会于2024年12月再次确认对该法案的支持，当时特朗普正准备重返白宫。
该法案禁止波士顿警察局及其他市政官员与包括美国移民及海关执法局在内的联邦当局合作开展民事移民执法行动，包括扣留移民以备驱逐或共享其个人信息。
司法部辩称，这些条款违反了美国宪法，阻碍了联邦移民执法，且被联邦移民法律所取代。
但由民主党总统巴拉克·奥巴马任命的索罗金表示，特朗普政府未能证明其拥有挑战该法案的法律地位，也无法证明任何有利于联邦政府的裁决能够补救其所称遭受的损害。
他指出，即便他裁定禁止波士顿市实施该法案，波士顿警方也无法按照司法部的要求协助移民及海关执法局，因为马萨诸塞州最高法院在特朗普首届任期内的2017年作出裁决，禁止该州执法部门仅依据联邦民事移民拘押令扣留非公民。
“在马萨诸塞州，根本没有任何权力依据授权波士顿警察去做美国政府希望他们做的事情，”索罗金写道。
司法部未回应置评请求。
根据他的裁决，司法部在此前针对各实施“庇护”政策的城市和州的类似诉讼中全部败诉，科罗拉多州、伊利诺伊州和纽约州的另外四起诉讼也被法官驳回。
“今天的裁决是法治以及全国地方政府的胜利，”帮助波士顿应诉的公共权利项目组织的吉尔·哈比格在一份声明中表示。

BOSTON, May 28 (Reuters) – A federal judge threw out a lawsuit that U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration filed challenging a Boston ordinance that restricts police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
Boston-based U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin ruled, opens new tab that the U.S. Department of Justice lacked legal grounds to pursue the lawsuit, one of around a dozen it has filed challenging laws adopted by so-called “sanctuary jurisdictions” run by Democrats.

The lawsuit was filed in September against the city and Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu and challenged the Boston Trust Act, a law first adopted in 2014. The city council reaffirmed its support for the measure in December 2024 as Trump prepared to return to office.
The law bars the Boston Police Department and other city officials from collaborating with federal authorities including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to conduct civil immigration enforcement, including by keeping migrants for potential deportation or sharing their personal information.
The Justice Department argued those provisions impeded federal immigration enforcement in violation of the U.S. Constitution and were preempted by federal immigration law.
But Sorokin, who was appointed by Democratic President Barack Obama, said the administration failed to demonstrate it had legal standing to challenge the measure and could not show any ruling in its favor would remedy the harms the federal government alleged it was suffering.
He said that even if he blocked the city’s law, Boston police would still not be able to assist ICE in the way the Justice Department wanted due to a ruling handed down by Massachusetts’ highest court in 2017 during Trump’s first term that barred law enforcement in the state from detaining non-citizens based solely on a federal civil immigration detainer.
“In Massachusetts, there is simply no source of authority empowering Boston police officers to do what the United States would like them to do,” Sorokin wrote.
The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment.
According to his ruling, the Justice Department has so far lost every similar case against cities and states with “sanctuary” policies, with judges tossing four other lawsuits in Colorado, Illinois and New York.
“Today’s ruling is a victory for the rule of law and for local governments across the country,” Jill Habig, whose group the Public Rights Project helped defend Boston against the lawsuit, said in a statement.
