After pushback from sheriffs nationwide, a list of "sanctuary jurisdictions" has disappeared from the Department of Homeland Security's website. The list was published last week, about a month after President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to create a list of jurisdictions that have been obstructing federal immigration laws.

The Department of Homeland Security removed a list of hundreds of so-called sanctuary jurisdictions that it published on its website Thursday following questions about its accuracy and pointed criticism from a major group representing law enforcement.

The lawsuit also names Ricky Patel, a supervising agent with Homeland Security Investigations who led the arrest of Mr. Baraka on May 9 outside a 1,000-bed detention center near Newark Liberty International Airport that has become a flashpoint in President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

The mayor of Newark, New Jersey sued two U.S. law enforcement officials on Tuesday, alleging he was wrongly arrested and prosecuted as part of a politically motivated move by President Donald Trump's administration.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka sued the interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, arguing that his arrest outside an immigration detention center was motivated by politics.
