Impact analysis
Taxpayers could foot the bill for legal defense, and the result might affect federal funding or local law-enforcement costs.
Immigrant communities and local governments that want police focused on local crime—not immigration—benefit most if the suit is dismissed.
Immigrant residents could face greater fear and enforcement risk if the suit moves forward, while local agencies could bear more costs and lose community trust.
