April 18, 2019Ninth Circuit opinion
Ninth Circuit affirms district court decision, except for one subsection of AB 103—codified at California Government Code section12532(b)(1)(C) [requires examination of the circumstances surrounding the apprehension and transfer of immigration detainees ]—that discriminates against and impermissibly burdens the federal government, and so is unlawful under the doctrine of intergovernmental immunity. The government's petition for certiorari (https://www.justice.gov/brief/file/1213031/download) was denied with two noted dissents, see https://reason.com/2020/06/16/why-did-the-supreme-court-deny-certiorari-in-the-california-sanctuary-city-case-after-13-relists/.
