The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against New York, accusing it of impeding enforcement of federal immigration laws through its 'sanctuary city' policies.

The Justice Department's lawsuit alleges that New York City's policies violate the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution by affecting enforcement of federal immigration laws. The policies, which prohibit local law enforcement from detaining undocumented immigrants at ICE's request, are being challenged by the federal government, which charges they jeopardize public safety. Mayor Eric Adams supports the city's policies, but is urging a reevaluation to better work with federal authorities.
