A coalition of 20 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia sued the Justice Department on Aug. 18, accusing the federal government of illegally tying federal crime victim funds to cooperation with immigration enforcement.

The <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.rid.60243/gov.uscourts.rid.60243.1.0_1.pdf">lawsuit</a>, filed in federal court in Rhode Island on Aug. 18, challenges conditions the Justice Department placed this summer on the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), which provides more than $1 billion each year to states for services such as domestic violence shelters, funeral expenses, trauma counseling, and crime scene cleanup.

The attorneys general say the new rules target so-called sanctuary jurisdictions, in which officials refuse to comply with federal immigration law and authorities, by requiring states to assist federal immigration enforcement in order to continue receiving VOCA funds, which Congress created in 1984 under President Ronald Reagan to ensure stable support for victims of crime.

“For decades, VOCA grants have supported victims and survivors of crimes as they try to restore normalcy in their lives," Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell <a href="https://www.mass.gov/news/ag-campbell-sues-trump-administration-for-illegal-conditions-on-victims-of-crime-act-grants">said</a> in a statement. “The Trump Administration’s attempt to make this support conditional is as cruel as it is illegal. We’ll continue to hold the federal government accountable for actions that violate the law and harm vulnerable residents.”

Joining the suit are the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.

At issue are new provisions in the Justice Department’s 2025 <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.rid.60243/gov.uscourts.rid.60243.1.1.pdf">funding notices</a> for VOCA programs. The department’s Office for Victims of Crime said that grants may not be used for a program that “impedes or hinders the enforcement of federal immigration law,” including failing to provide U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with access to facilities or denying requests to notify federal authorities before releasing individuals who may be wanted for immigration violations.

The states argue that those conditions go beyond the authority Congress granted in VOCA, which was designed to distribute funds by fixed formulas and with minimal federal strings attached. Their complaint says the administration is violating constitutional limits on federal spending power and interfering with states’ ability to decide how to use their law enforcement resources. It also alleges that the requirements are unrelated to the purposes of VOCA and coercive because states must either comply or lose critical funding.

"The Immigration Enforcement Conditions are unlawful for multiple, independent reasons," their lawsuit states. "USDOJ lacks requisite statutory authority to impose them; their imposition was arbitrary and capricious; and even if authorized by statute, they violate the Spending Clause."

The lawsuit asks the court to strike down the conditions and permanently block the Justice Department from enforcing them.

A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment in response to an inquiry from The Epoch Times.

The federal government earlier this month <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/justice-department-releases-updated-list-of-sanctuary-jurisdictions-5897326?ea_src=author_manual&ea_med=related_stories">released</a> an updated list of states and cities it considers sanctuary jurisdictions. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed to continue court action against them in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security.

“Sanctuary policies impede law enforcement and put American citizens at risk by design,” Bondi said in a <a class="article-hover-class" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-publishes-list-sanctuary-jurisdictions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">statement</a> attached to the updated list.

The list was released in line with an <a class="article-hover-class" href="https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.federalregister.gov%2Fdocuments%2F2025%2F05%2F02%2F2025-07789%2Fprotecting-american-communities-from-criminal-aliens%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/010001987a7f581e-e7ba96f7-3157-46ed-b636-9a18a633f11b-000000/KqcWxCq5txkjLj4FN3wILy9JnLN0UPfYHgFEmGFB8jg=416" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">executive order</a> President Donald Trump signed in April, which reprimanded sanctuary states for using their authority “to violate, obstruct, and defy the enforcement of Federal immigration laws” and vowed to restore enforcement.

More recently, Bondi sent a series of letters to sanctuary jurisdictions, ordering them to comply with federal immigration laws or face litigation.

“Any sanctuary jurisdiction that continues to put illegal aliens ahead of American citizens can either come to the table or see us in court,” Bondi wrote in a <a class="article-hover-class" href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/1956030770704798107/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">post</a> on X.
