Garcetti Announces Appeal to Immigration Court Case
LOS ANGELES— On April 6 Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that the city is partaking with a coalition of 73 cities and counties filing a friend-of-the-court brief in Texas vs. United States.
The Cities United for Immigration Action coalition represents 43 million people across the country. Garcetti and New York City Mayor de Blasio have led the effort.
The brief urges immediate implementation of President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration. President plans to grant administrative relief to over 4 million undocumented children and adults.
The brief, which was filed in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals shows support for the president’s reforms. These reforms will provide temporary relief from deportation to immigrants with longstanding ties to the U.S. who pass a background check and meet other criteria.
The coalition argues that the district court judge who temporarily blocked implementation of the programs failed to consider the significant harms to America’s local governments caused by this delay.
The brief also argues that the District Court judge’s decision to block executive action with a preliminary injunction is damages the economy, hurts families, threatens law enforcement priorities and will stall desperately needed changes to the federal government’s immigration policies.
