US EditionTrump administration sues Los Angeles over sanctuary city immigration policies
- On June 30, 2025, the Department of Justice under the Trump administration initiated legal action against the municipal government of Los Angeles, including its mayor and city council members, challenging local sanctuary immigration policies.
- The lawsuit claims that Los Angeles' sanctuary policies breach the Supremacy Clause by discriminating against federal immigration agents compared to other law enforcement personnel.
- The policies restrict federal agents’ access to property and detainees, prohibit information sharing by contractors, and disfavor federal criminal laws, prompting a federal crackdown and National Guard deployment.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi argued that sanctuary policies are largely responsible for the recent unrest and assaults on law enforcement in Los Angeles, while Mayor Bass condemned the immigration raids for tearing families apart and emphasized that the city is fundamentally made up of immigrants.
- The lawsuit seeks to block enforcement of the sanctuary law, reflecting ongoing tensions over federal authority and immigration enforcement in sanctuary jurisdictions.
