A bipartisan faction of New York City Council members, known as the Common Sense Caucus, has formally requested the Department of Justice (DOJ) expand its lawsuit against New York state to include NYC's sanctuary city laws. These laws are designed to limit local cooperation with federal agencies regarding illegal immigration. Council members argue that these policies pose risks to public safety and hinder national security efforts. David Carr emphasized that the federal government has the authority to regulate immigration, signifying potential legal conflicts brewing between local and federal rules.
The council's Common Sense Caucus penned a letter to US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday asking to take legal action against New York City for its policies on illegal immigrants that limit cooperation between local law enforcement and the federal government.
'Our Constitution specifically grants the federal government the power to establish laws to protect our borders and regulate immigration, and New York City cannot willfully ignore these laws,' said David Carr (R-Staten Island), who led the effort.
