Trump Administration Sues Los Angeles Over Sanctuary City Policies

News summary

The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass, and the City Council, alleging that the city's sanctuary city policies obstruct federal immigration law enforcement and create a lawless environment. The lawsuit claims Los Angeles’ ordinance, which bars local police from sharing information about individuals without legal status and prohibits city resources from being used for immigration enforcement, is illegal and demands it be blocked. The administration argues these policies hinder efforts to address what it calls a crisis of illegal immigration, citing recent riots and deployment of the National Guard and Marines to restore order. Los Angeles officials, including Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, defend the sanctuary policies as necessary to protect residents and oppose the administration’s approach, accusing President Trump of tearing families apart. This legal action is part of a broader campaign by the Trump administration targeting sanctuary jurisdictions such as New York, New Jersey, and Colorado. The lawsuit highlights ongoing tensions between federal immigration enforcement priorities and local sanctuary policies in major U.S. cities.
