Federal cases challenging the Trump administration’s immigration sweeps could redefine the limits on the discretion officers have to stop, question and detain people over their citizenship and how much race and ethnicity can factor in those decisions.

NEW: Mayor Wu has been one of the faces of pushback to Trump's ICE demands.

But a police grant the city is re-applying for is sparking concerns about helping immigration enforcement: not just due to new strings DHS is imposing, but also due to how a fusion center called BRIC is already working.

The grant helps fund a law enforcement center that’s drawn criticism over privacy and over data-sharing with ICE. It would also come with new strings to spend money on border control.
