It seeks an injunction to prevent the city from obstructing immigration enforcement. The sanctuary laws limit cooperation between local and federal agencies, specifically targeting NYPD orders that restrict engagement in civil immigration activities. Named defendants include the city, Mayor Adams, and the NYPD.
