Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg (D) announced on Tuesday that the Kentucky city will begin complying with the Trump administration’s 48-hour immigration detainer requests and, in exchange, the federal government will drop Louisville from its “sanctuary city” list.

Under the new directive, the mayor said, the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections (LMDC) will notify the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at least 48 hours before an inmate with an immigration detainer is scheduled to be released from custody.

The federal government’s 48-hour detainer request is “standard practice” for Kentucky and was followed in Louisville before 2017, when the local policy changed, Greenberg said,. He added that LMDC currently provides DHS with approximately 5-12 hours’ notice before an inmate with an immigration detainer is released.

"I have been assured by the U.S. Department of Justice that, if we reinstate the 48-hour detainers for inmates who’ve been arrested for crimes, Louisville will be taken off the federal sanctuary city list,” Greenberg said in remarks on Tuesday.

Well, as long as you've been assured. I think we can all agree, promises made by the DOJ under Pam Bondi are 100% reliable and trustworthy.
