The Trump administration filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles, accusing the city of violating federal law with its sanctuary city policies. The complaint asserts that these policies obstruct federal immigration enforcement and communication between various levels of law enforcement. It seeks a court declaration that Los Angeles' policies are invalid under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized sanctuary policies, linking them to increased violence against law enforcement. This lawsuit aligns with President Trump’s agenda to strengthen immigration enforcement, particularly following his 2024 election victory.
Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles, she said.
The suit claims sanctuary laws are illegal and obstruct the Federal Government's enforcement of federal immigration law.
