The City of Philadelphia has filed suit against Attorney General Jeff Sessions siting that he added unlawful conditions were added to Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. These new conditions, announced on July 25, 2017—just barely a month before the application is due—require that the City (1) certify compliance with Section 1373 of Title 8 of the U.S. Code; (2) provide ICE with 48-hours-notice of the “scheduled release” of prisoners of interest; and (3) allow ICE unfettered access to interview inmates in Philadelphia’s prison system. The funding from JAG Grants goes towards priorities like police overtime and equipment enhancements, upgrades to courtroom technology, training for law enforcement, and alternative programming for low level offenders.
