Trump administration sues NYC over 'sanctuary city' policies
Briefly

The Trump administration filed a lawsuit against New York City, claiming its sanctuary policies shield criminals and hinder immigration enforcement efforts. The lawsuit cites local ordinances dating back to 1989 and demands the court invalidate these policies for allegedly violating the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause. It is similar to other lawsuits against sanctuary jurisdictions in the U.S. The administration argues that New York City obstructs information sharing, refuses to detain removable aliens, and forces the federal government to secure warrants, resulting in unsafe conditions for immigration agents.
