Trump DOJ suing NY over sanctuary city, immigration policies

NEW YORK — Trump’s Justice Department on Wednesday announced civil charges against Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James for limiting compliance with the president’s hard-line immigration policies.

“New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today,” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said at a press conference, saying it was “a new DOJ” and adding if other states are not compliant, “You are next, get ready.”

The suit follows a similar federal action the DOJ filed last week against Illinois. Bondi said New York “didn’t listen.”

Spokespeople for Hochul and James did not immediately wish to comment.
