Excerpt:
Judge Daniel A. Bress of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit wrote in the Nov. 29 opinion that a 2019 executive order issued by King County Executive Dow Constantine that prohibited the ICE deportation flights was unlawful. …
….Bress wrote that the executive order’s flight ban “discriminatorily burdens the United States” in the enforcement of federal immigration law and that this “discrimination, plain on the face of the Order, contravenes the intergovernmental immunity doctrine.” Rooted in the supremacy clause, the intergovernmental immunity doctrine protects federal government operations from discriminatory or obstructive actions by state and local governments.
