6月24日（路透社）——一名联邦法官周三驳回了美国司法部提起的诉讼，该诉讼旨在挑战新泽西州四座城市出台的限制警方与联邦移民执法部门合作的政策。
美国联邦地区法官伊夫林·帕丁在纽瓦克作出的这一裁决，是唐纳德·特朗普政府在挑战所谓民主党主导的“庇护辖区”所出台的法律与政策过程中遭遇的又一系列法院败诉案例。

司法部在2025年5月提起的诉讼中辩称，纽瓦克、霍博肯、泽西市和帕特森市出台的政策阻碍了联邦移民执法，违反了美国宪法，且应被联邦法律优先适用。
司法部称，这些政策拒绝联邦移民执法人员接触被当地羁押的移民，限制当地官员将被羁押人员移交给联邦执法人员，并禁止原本愿意配合的当地官员向联邦移民当局提供相关信息。
但由民主党总统乔·拜登任命的帕丁表示，司法部的案件“存在根本性缺陷——它将受到质疑的政策视为孤立运作的政策”。
她表示，事实并非如此，因为根据新泽西州总检察长2008年发布的全州指令，包括市政执法机构在内的执法部门，在法律要求之外，不得与美国移民及海关执法局特工合作。
她表示，因此，司法部所称的所谓损害无法通过该诉讼得到补救，因为任何有利于司法部的裁决，都不会让市政执法人员得以做全州政策所禁止的任何事情。
白宫和司法部未立即回应置评请求。
纽瓦克、霍博肯和泽西市的代表未立即回应置评请求。
泽西市市长詹姆斯·所罗门在一份声明中对法院的裁决表示赞赏，并表示该市将“继续尽一切所能保护我们的邻居，对抗特朗普政府的滥权和残忍的联邦越权行为”。
帕特森市法律部门负责人艾曼·阿布希对法官的裁决表示欢迎，称该市的政策符合联邦法律，此次驳回裁决确认了“该市在遵守法律的同时，对居民的承诺”。

Judge tosses Trump administration’s challenge to New Jersey cities’ ‘sanctuary’ policies

June 24 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit that the U.S. Department of Justice had filed challenging policies that four New Jersey cities adopted restricting police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
The ruling, opens new tab by U.S. District Judge Evelyn Padin in Newark marked the latest in a series of court losses for U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration in its efforts to challenge laws and policies adopted by so-called “sanctuary jurisdictions” run by Democrats.

The Justice Department in a lawsuit filed in May 2025 argued the cities of Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City and Paterson are impeding federal immigration enforcement with policies that violate the U.S. Constitution and are preempted by federal law.
Those policies, it said, deny federal immigration agents access to immigrants in local custody, restrict local officers from handing over those in custody to federal agents and bar otherwise willing local officers from providing information to federal immigration authorities.
But Padin, who was appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden, said the Justice Department’s case “has a fundamental flaw—it treats the challenged policies as though they operate in isolation.”
They do not, she said, as under a statewide directive issued by New Jersey’s attorney general in 2008, law enforcement agencies, including those run by cities are restricted from cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents beyond what the law requires.
She said that as a result, the alleged harms the Justice Department claims could not be addressed through the lawsuit, as any ruling in its favor would not free municipal law enforcement officers to do anything the statewide policy forbids.
The White House and Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Representatives from Newark, Hoboken and Jersey City did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Jersey City Mayor James Solomon in a statement applauded the court’s ruling and said his city will “continue to do everything within our power to protect our neighbors and push back against the Trump Administration’s abusive and cruel federal overreach.”
Paterson’s Aymen Aboushi, who heads the city’s legal department, welcomed the judge’s decision, saying the city’s policies comply with federal law and that the dismissal affirms “the city’s commitment to its residents while upholding the law.”
