   President Joe Biden’s decision to reverse Donald Trump’s denial of   
   Department of Justice grants to sanctuary jurisdictions means New York   
   will receive more than $30 million for public safety, the state’s Attorney   
   General Letitia James (D) announced on Tuesday.   
      
   “Public safety and our ability to protect our communities should never be   
   jeopardized by politics,” James wrote in a statement.   
      
   The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program, known as Byrne   
   JAG funds for short, was named after late New York City Police Officer   
   Eddie Byrne, who was assassinated in the line of duty in 1988.   
      
   Trump’s Justice Department denied up to $385 million in these grants to   
   sanctuary jurisdictions, the states and cities opting to limit local   
   cooperation with federal authorities on immigration.   
      
   The Empire State—along with Connecticut, New Jersey, Washington,   
   Massachusetts, Virginia and Rhode Island—challenged that policy in the   
   courts, with mixed success.   
      
   Despite winning on the trial level, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the   
   Second Circuit allowed Trump’s Justice Department to move forward with   
   that restriction. Four other federal appellate courts, the First, Third,   
   Seventh and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeal, had ruled differently.   
      
   Trump flipped the Second Circuit conservative with an appointment in late   
   2019.   
      
   The circuit split had spelled a Supreme Court battle, until the high court   
   dropped the case at the Biden administration’s request.   
      
   “For decades, the Byrne JAG grant program has been a critical source of   
   federal funding for our efforts to protect New Yorkers, which is why the   
   former president’s attempts to hold these grant funds hostage was so   
   unconscionable,” James wrote. “We’re pleased that the Biden administration   
   has removed the immigration-related conditions, and that New York can now   
   access the more than $30 million of grant funds that have stood in limbo   
   over the last four years. This action will ensure that states and   
   localities don’t have to choose between protecting their autonomy and   
   protecting public safety.”   
      
   On Monday, the Biden administration signaled plans to reverse other Trump-   
   era immigration policies and said that undertaking would be difficult.   
      
   “The sad truth is that we will not achieve 62,500 admissions this year. We   
   are working quickly to undo the damage of the last four years,” the   
   president said in a statement. “It will take some time, but that work is   
   already underway. We have reopened the program to new refugees. And by   
   changing the regional allocations last month, we have already increased   
   the number of refugees ready for departure to the United States.”   
      
   That decision followed criticism within his party—including Senate   
   Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)—about projections that Biden is on   
   track toward admitting fewer refugees in his first year than any other   
   president. Biden quickly announced plans to raise the cap following that   
   criticism.   
      
   Biden’s Department of Homeland Security announced that the Family   
   Reunification Task Force he empaneled has begun the work of reuniting the   
   first group of families. The task force’s initial report is slated to be   
   released on June 2.
