Trump admin sues NYC to overturn sanctuary laws, arguing they are unconstitutional, days after Border Patrol agent shot | amNewYork
"The Trump administration is suing New York City over its sanctuary city laws, claiming they impede the federal government's ability to enforce immigration laws."
"The lawsuit argues that New York City's sanctuary laws violate the US Constitution's Supremacy Clause by obstructing federal immigration enforcement."
The Trump Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against New York City regarding its sanctuary laws. The lawsuit claims these laws hinder the federal government's capacity to enforce immigration laws, violating the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution. New York City's Mayor Eric Adams and several city officials are named as defendants in the suit. This legal action follows an incident where two undocumented migrants allegedly shot a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officer. Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized the need for local leaders to protect citizens and comply with federal laws.
