The Trump Administration is no longer treating [Florida’s Miami-Dade County](http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article165837497.html) as a so-called “sanctuary city,” after the county began extending the detentions of local inmates who are being sought for deportation — a practice in accordance with President Trump’s immigration policies.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez, a Republican, said Saturday that he had received a letter from Acting Assistant U.S. Attorney General Alan Hanson confirming the county’s compliance, [according to the Miami _Herald_](http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article165837497.html).

“Based on the materials you have provided, we found no evidence that Miami Dade County is currently out of compliance with section 1373,” Hanson [wrote](http://www.miamidade.gov/mayor/library/memos-and-reports/2017/08/08.05.17-DOJ-Determination-on-Miami-Dade-Countys-Compliance-with-1373-003.pdf), referencing a policy requiring that local law enforcement agencies comply with [detainer requests](https://www.ice.gov/detainer-policy) and share immigration information with federal authorities. “As a reminder, complying with section 1373 is an ongoing requirement that the Office of Justice Programs will continue to monitor.”

Trump has threatened to [cut off certain federal grants](http://time.com/4753002/sanctuary-cities-federal-grants-spending/) from sanctuary cities. Miami-Dade County received a warning letter in April because it had been identified as a sanctuary city under the Obama Administration, [according to the _Herald_](http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article146091594.html). In the warning letter, the Justice Department threatened to cancel a federal grant that the county receives annually.

Gimenez said Saturday that because of its compliance, Miami-Dade County is eligible for the $481,347 grant, which will be used by the Miami-Dade Police Department.
