The Trump administration's Department of Justice is suing New York City and Mayor Eric Adams regarding sanctuary policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the lawsuit, claiming these policies obstruct law enforcement efforts. The lawsuit follows an incident in which an off-duty Customs and Border Protection officer was attacked by illegal migrants. Officials blame sanctuary city leadership for fostering dangerous conditions, citing numerous criminal incidents involving released offenders who should have been detained.
"The Department of Justice is suing New York City and Mayor Eric Adams for continuing to obstruct law enforcement with sanctuary city policies," Bondi stated in a social media post.
"If New York's leaders won't step up to protect their citizens, we will," the attorney general continued.
"These violent thugs have committed a smorgasbord of crimes and been arrested multiple times and yet New York continued to release them, ignore an ICE detainer and allow them to continue to prey on Americans and terrorize our streets," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated of the attack.
"How many people have to die, how many lives have to be changed forever for Mayor Adams and his sanctuary politician ilk to end these performative politics?" McLaughlin continued.
