Attorney General William Barr said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are being hindered by sanctuary policies and said agents, along with U.S. Customs Border and Protection (CBP) can defy state rules that try to restrict them from making arrests.

Barr and acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolfe wrote to Martha Walters, chief justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, and Mary Fairhurst, chief justice of the Washington Supreme Court, on Nov. 21.
