Los Angeles, declared a sanctuary city in late 2024, is facing a lawsuit from the Department of Justice under President Trump. The lawsuit charges the city, Mayor Karen Bass, and its council with obstructing federal immigration law. In June 2025, protests erupted after ICE arrested over 1,600 individuals at various locations, resulting in riots and chaos throughout the city. This situation prompted the federal government to deploy the California National Guard and Marines. The DOJ claims that Los Angeles' sanctuary policies contribute to a growing crisis of illegal immigration.
The Department of Justice's lawsuit against Los Angeles accuses the city of undermining federal immigration laws through its sanctuary policies, resulting in increased lawlessness.
