U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin ruled that the Justice Department lacked the legal standing to pursue the case against the city and Mayor Michelle Wu. The lawsuit specifically targeted the Boston Trust Act, a 2014 law that prohibits city officials from collaborating with federal authorities, such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), on civil immigration enforcement. Judge Sorokin noted that even if the city's law were blocked, Boston police would still be unable to assist ICE due to a 2017 Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling. This dismissal marks another loss for the Justice Department, which has failed in all similar lawsuits against 'sanctuary' policies in other cities and states.
