Federal Showdown: Trump Administration Sues Los Angeles Over Immigration Policy
The Trump administration filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles, challenging the city's non-cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The Justice Department claims these practices violate federal law. After national guard deployments to control protests, local authorities accuse Trump of aggravating tensions. This is an attack on sanctuary city policies.
The Trump administration took legal action against Los Angeles on Monday, alleging that the city's protective policies for immigrants clash with federal law. The lawsuit was filed by the U.S. Justice Department as part of an ongoing dispute between federal and local authorities over immigration enforcement.
Senior Justice Department official Chad Mizelle announced the move on social media, asserting the federal government's intention to enforce immigration law regardless of the city's stance. The lawsuit alleges that the city's restrictions hinder federal operations and violate legal obligations.
The legal clash follows Trump's decision to deploy California National Guard troops amid protests against deportation activities. California officials, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, argue that these actions escalate tensions. The lawsuit reflects the administration's broader push against sanctuary city policies that limit cooperation with immigration authorities.
