Listen "A Legal and Policy Analysis of the VOCA Grant Lawsuit"
Episode Synopsis
I've successfully gathered a significant amount of new information on the lawsuit. The policy at the heart of the case involves the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) placing new conditions on Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding. These conditions would cut off funds to states that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, specifically by not honoring civil immigration reVicquests, denying access to facilities for ICE, or failing to provide advance notice of an individual's release. I have also identified all 20 states and D.C. involved in the lawsuit, and the case has been filed in a federal court in Rhode Island.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/go-beyond-the-brief--6353252/support.
