The Justice Department, led by Pam Bondi, has initiated legal action against New York state over its sanctuary policies that restrict federal immigration enforcement. Bondi criticized the state leadership, including Governor Kathy Hochul and AG Letitia James, for prioritizing undocumented immigrants over American citizens. This lawsuit follows a similar action taken against Illinois, signaling a more aggressive federal stance toward states that limit immigration cooperation. The Justice Department contends that such policies hinder federal enforcement and discriminate against immigration laws.
"This is a new DOJ," Bondi announced. "New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today."
Bondi filed lawsuits against the state of New York, Governor Kathy Hochul, Letitia James, and the DMV chief.
"As you know, we sued Illinois," Bondi added. "New York didn't listen. So now, you're next."
