Amid enforcement surge, Ohio cities are rethinking cooperation with ICE
The Statehouse News Bureau: Jonathan Entin, the David L. Brennan Professor Emeritus of Law at the School of Law, explained that while immigration enforcement is federal, cities can legally refuse ICE cooperation under the 10th Amendment. However, he noted that state law often overrides municipal law, and Ohio courts historically favor the state, making local legal challenges difficult.
